This year marks 80 years since VE Day, the anniversary of Germany’s surrender marking the end of the Second World War in Europe in 1945. It’s a long time since, though there are still 70,000 veterans alive in the UK today.
While official events on May 5 and 6 have now been and gone, including a military parade, a flypast by the famous Red Arrows, and a ceremony at the cenotaph, there is still a score of events scheduled, including a special thanksgiving service as Westminster Abbey on Thursday.
