Royal fans have been fairly spoiled in recent years with multiple royal weddings, Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee and The King's coronation. But with no major royal commemorations in the books for quite some time (knock on wood), it's been very much business as usual these days. However, with the 80th anniversary of VE Day approaching in May, expect the Royal Family to join in for a busy period of national celebrations.
The U.K. government announced a lineup of events for this year's milestone VE Day—the holiday that marks the end of World War II in Europe—and it'll be a jam-packed four days of commemorations. The celebrations will begin on Monday, May 5, which is a bank holiday in the U.K., and run through Thursday, May 8.
