Supreme Commander General Eisenhower visited the grounds of Portora Royal School on 18 May 1944 to inspect 2000 troops drawn up on the playing fields in the build up to D-Day. His top secret visit was preceded by two dress rehearsals, which the public were invited to attend. To mark this occasion the school renamed their rugby pitches in 2014; The Eisenhower Playing Fields.
