I have a Flow using Send an email v2 when a new item is created in a SharePoint list

The SharePoint list has a Date field in it and I want that date to be part of the email.

It works but the Date field shows in the email as for example 2021-05-27

But I want it to display in the UK/European format of 27-05-2021

 

I know I need to use the Expression to do this with FormatDateTime but how do I "wrap" that around the date field?

    Sorry, my error:

    formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/Date'], 'dd-MM-yyyy')
