US First Lady Jill Biden was seen pulling her husband Joe Biden, away from a D-Day commemoration ceremony in Normandy, France - leaving several social media users completely baffled.
The event to honour the 80th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France was attended by world leaders and dignitaries, including French President Emmanuel Macron.
Veteran Navy intel officer Jack Poso wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "Jill Biden just pulled Joe out of the Normandy event.
Macron staying behind with the veterans.
What’s going on?"
Earlier today, the US President appeared disoriented and required assistance from Mr Macron.
Leaders from around the world gathered at the commemoration in Colleville-sur-Mer, France, where US forces suffered substantial losses on June 6, 1944, to honour the largest sea invasion in history.

Why do you think the actions of public figures at commemorative events are highly scrutinized, and is this fair?
@9NNR9PQ2yrs2Y
I think it is because people look up to the leader, supposed to be faithful to the country, and to see them not showing patriotism is bad. It is fair
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you feel if a significant figure left an important commemorative event early, and what might justify such actions for you?

Depends on their person reasons, state events should be top priority but personal emergencies will still arise
