Original Note:
Attending these events is a duty of the Head of State, not the PM; thus, the King represented the UK. The post is inaccurate, as the PM gave a speech in Normandy and did not 'duck out.' Furthermore, campaigning for the General Election was largely paused for the day. https://www.royal.uk/the-role-of-the-monarchy https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/06/06/general-election-2024-d-day-anniversary-normandy-sunak/ https://news.sky.com/video/d-day-rishi-sunak-makes-address-in-normandy-13148668
