This Wednesday, August 28, 2024, the capital of the Côte d’Azur celebrated the 80th anniversary of its liberation. On this occasion, a commemoration was organized in front of the war memorial in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) before which three vintage planes flew over the city.

A passage that did not go unnoticed. In the process, many images circulated on social networks.

The program was busy this Wednesday. Nice celebrated the 80th anniversary of its liberation on August 28, 1944. First, residents were able to watch a parade of American vehicles from World War II in the streets of the Côte d’Azur city. The convoy, which left from Saint-Laurent-du-Var, drove to Place Masséna via Avenue Jean-Médecin around 11 a.m.

The commemorative ceremony was held at 6:30 p.m. at the War Memorial, not far from Rauba Capeù. Shortly before, three propeller planes flew over the area. Here is the video:

They were a C-47B DC-3 Dakota (the largest in the images), an emblematic plane of the landings, and two T-6G Texans, used during World War II.
