The Falmouth Flotilla event on Thursday 6th June 2024 will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy.

Falmouth Town Council, Falmouth Harbour, and the Port of Truro are coordinating up to 80 boats in a flotilla event that aims to commemorate the largest seaborne invasion in history and honours the bravery and sacrifice of the Allied Forces troops. 

Many Allied Forces troops were stationed in and around Falmouth during World War II and the flotilla will travel past some of these locations along the River Fal. 

FalRiver are offering a free charity cruise for anyone in the community who wants to participate and commemorate this historic occasion.

Enterprise I will leave Prince of Wales Pier, Falmouth at 14:00 on Thursday to join the parade. Spaces are limited so please book via the Fal River Visitor Information Centre on the Pier, or via info@falriver.co.uk. Please make a donation on the day - all proceeds to support veterans.

Join the fleet of vessels that will leave from the area adjacent to Tolverne, North of the King Harry Ferry, at 15:00 and make their way down the channel of the Carrick Roads (weather permitting).

“It’s important for Falmouth to mark the occasion, and in true spirit of the sea, the marine community is coming together to commemorate the 80th D-Day anniversary on the water” said Councillor Alan Rowe, Town Mayor of Falmouth.

FalRiver is proud to support this event alongside Falmouth Town Team, Falmouth Harbour and the Port of Truro.
