Google apologises over D
Honinbo Shusaku: the original Google Doodle displayed on Google.co.uk on June 6
Google.co.uk, Google.com, and Google.fr all display the link to the D-Day archive, while Google.hk and Google.co.jp still display the Honinbo Shusaku image.
The 70th anniversary of D-Day, marking the beginning of the Allies' invasion of Nazi-held Europe, has been honoured around the world in a series of commemorations.
Google said the D-Day information on the Cultural Institute had always been planned for the date, and how it had created new content, including partnering with the Mémorial de Caen in France.
Peter Barron, the search engine's director of communications, said the company had ' always intended to highlight a new exhibition of imagery and archive material commemorating D-Day on our home page.'
'Unfortunately a technical error crept in and for a short period this morning an international doodle also appeared. We're sorry for the mistake, and we're proud to honour those who took part in D-Day,' he added.
US President Barack Obama joined French President Francois Holland in a joint French-US D-Day commemoration ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-mer, Normandy.
