A memorial plaque will be unveiled today at the site of the MV Crested Eagle, a paddle steamer which was attacked and sunk as thousands of soldiers were rescued from Dunkirk during the Second World War.
Several events have been taking place to mark the historic evacuation of thousands of troops in 1940 known as 'Operation Dynamo'.
Between 26 May and 4 June 1940, the Little Ships rescued almost 338,000 men from the clutches of the Nazis on the beaches at Dunkirk.
Today, two of those men once again clambered on board a little ship and went back to France to commemorate that miracle journey across the channel 75 years ago.
ITV News Correspondent Dan Rivers went with them:
Despite overcast weather a large crowd joined veterans and gathered around Dunkirk's memorial square to pay their respects.
A service to remember 'Operation Dynamo', the code name for the mass evacuation of allied troops in 1940, will take place on the beach.
A flotilla of "little ships" which helped evacuate soldiers from Dunkirk will return to France today, 75 years on from the daring mission.
