Hill, left, shakes hands with US congressman from the Sate of Pennsylvania, Tim Murphy, with US senator John Kerry at centre, during a D-DAY anniversary ceremony, at the Pointe du Hoc in Cricqueville en Bessin, western France, Monday, June 6, 2011.  World War II veterans and Sen. John Kerry commemorated the D-Day landings in Normandy at an iconic and eroding cliff. The visit is one of several events along the coast Monday marking 67 years since Allied forces landed on a swath of beaches in Nazi-occupied France. The June, 6, 1944, invasion and ensuing battle for Normandy helped change the course of the war.
