Are there monuments at Sword Beach?

Yes, Sword Beach has many memorials for the British and French troops. You can see the Kieffer Monument, the Bill Millin statue, and several plaques tied to specific units along the Ouistreham shore.

In this area, the displays focus a lot on teamwork across nations. They also highlight personal bravery. One of the best-known pieces is the bronze statue of Bill Millin, Lord Lovat’s piper, who kept playing bagpipes while under fire and moving along the beach.
