Lovely but....but it would have been a nice and clever choice to use the Coral and Diamond Rose Brooch which was presented to HM in 1990 by the Chancellor and the Companions of the Order of the Liberation (a French Order founded in 1940 by General de Gaulle for people who distinguished themselves by their courage and bravery during WWII fighting for France's liberation from the German occupation).
It is a beautiful and delicate brooch, which would be symbolically very appropriate for the D-Day celebrations...
Queen Elizabeth has worn this brooch only a few times (in 1994 for the 40th anniversary of the D-Day, in 2004 for a State visit to France, and last time in May 2012 for the "Diamond Jubilee Pageant" at Windsor Castle:
