VE DAY CELEBRATIONS

May 08, 2025

THE UK will party like it's 1945 when the nation salutes our veterans by marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

- BY LUCY THORNTON

Four days of celebrations and remembrance will begin on Bank Holiday Monday, May 5.

The events aim to reflect the spontaneous scenes of joy that erupted on May 8, 1945, to mark the end of the Second World War in Europe.

The government wants people across the UK to “show our gratitude to the men, women and children who dedicated their lives to the war effort”.

VE Day 80 will start on the Monday with a military procession from Whitehall to Buckingham Palace, where the King and Queen are due to appear on the balcony with their family to watch the Red Arrows and military aircraft fly overhead.
