Official window stickers to mark the D-Day 80th anniversary have had to be CHANGED after a beach was put in the wrong place.

They were made in the shape of a map of the Normandy coast.

Allied troops landed on five beaches along a 50 miles stretch of the French coastline on 6 June, 1944.

The beaches were given the code names Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.

But eagle-eyed customers spotted Utah should be about six miles to the north west.

The window sticker cost £3.99.Officials who made them at Royal British Legion Industries – a separate charity to The Royal British Legion – have now moved it to the correction __cpLocation.

However, its £4.99 magnets – with the same map – are still on sale with Utah in the wrong place.

They are part of the D-Day 80 range made in Aylesford, Kent that are on sale on its website.

One customer – called Phil – highlighted the error and fumed: “Congrats Royal British Legion Industries.

“In your D-Day commemorative merchandise, you have managed to get Utah beach in the wrong __cpLocation.

“For f*ck sake.”

Another – named Steve – added: “B*oody so called professionals.”

A RBLI spokesperson said: “These were designed to show the names of the five beaches where the Allied Forces landed, not to act as a scaled map.”

The stickers are 14.5cm x 8.5cm and stick on the inside of windows.

The magnets are 12cm x 7cm and go on vehicles and fridges.

Proceeds go to the RBLI’s work supporting the Armed Forces, those with disabilities and those who are unemployed.

The spokesperson added: ““The 80th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings is incredibly important to RBLI.

“As it will enable a veteran who lives on our veterans’ village in Kent to speak about her service during the Second World War when she refitted the vehicles for D-Day, and others to speak about their father and brother who landed on D-Day.

“The money raised from the sale of our merchandise is used to provide welfare, employment, and housing support to disadvantaged military veterans, their families, and dependents, as well as people with a disability or health condition and those who have been long term unemployed.”

The 80 year anniversary of the landings is on Thursday (6 Jun).
