As we approach 8 May 2025, a truly historic moment awaits us the 80th anniversary of VE Day. It’s a day that marks the end of World War II in Europe, when millions across the United Kingdom and beyond poured into the streets in celebration, relief, and remembrance.
It is a great time for families, and communities of our great nation to come together once again united not just in celebration, but in gratitude.
Eighty years of peace in Europe is no small milestone. It’s a legacy built on unimaginable sacrifice. So many millions gave everything, lives, futures, and loved ones so that we might enjoy the freedoms we do today. VE Day 80 is a tribute to them, and a chance to reflect on the resilience and unity that have defined Britain ever since.
It’s more than a historical date it’s a moment to pause and ask ourselves:

What will you be doing on 8 May 2025?
Will you be…
- Attending a local remembrance event?
- Hosting a street party or community gathering?
- Visiting a war memorial or museum with your family?
- Simply taking a quiet moment to honour those who served?
Whether you’re planning something big or small, we would love to hear about it. How will you be commemorating this powerful day?
