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.
