|Yorkshire Evening Post
Heroic war veterans from Leeds have shared powerful memories as commemorations mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
The city will today (May 8) honour the sacrifices made by those who served during the Second World War, as civic leaders gather to observe the milestone and pay tribute to the enduring legacy of the wartime generation.
There will be a short service at the War Memorial in Victoria Gardens led by the Lord Mayor Coun Abigail Marshall Katung and the Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire at 11am, where wreaths will be laid.
Then, on Saturday evening (May 10), Coun Katung will host a civic event at Leeds Minster. It will feature orchestral, choir, and bagpipe performances, contemporary songs of the war era, and personal stories of Leeds people who contributed to the victory.
