This year the United Kingdom will be celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
It's when the World War II allies accepted Germany's unconditional surrender of its armed forces, ending the war, on 8 May 1945.
We're marking the huge anniversary with a free family fun day in Ravenscourt Park, Saturday 10 May, and we want to work with you to make it happen.
Entertainment already confirmed for the day includes live music by Bunny Nightingale, a Winston Churchill lookalike and a Home Guard display.

We want our celebration to include as many local traders as possible – the more, the merrier!

Share your family's memories
When the UK Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, broke news of VE Day via radio announcement people celebrated in their streets and homes across the UK – including right here in H&F.
If your family, friends or neighbours got involved on the day, served in the war or lived in H&F during this period, we'd love to hear their stories. Please share your photos and stories with us so we can include them in our VE Day exhibition. Email us at events@lbhf.gov.uk
Want to get involved on the day? Residents and traders are welcome to join in and dress up in 1940s clothing. There will be a competition for best dressed in several categories including best dressed pet!
