From the military procession and flypast, to street parties across the country and the BBC’s commemorative concert, gratitude for the sacrifices made by the VE Day generation was on full display.
As the Prime Minister wrote in his open letter to veterans: “...The whole nation is inspired by the selfless dedication of your example. This week, the country will show you just how thankful we all are. Because we know that without your service, the freedom, peace and joy that these celebrations embody, would not be possible.”
See a recap below of all the fantastic events, parties and tributes put on to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day in Europe.
