On Thursday 8 May we mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day and 80 years of peace since the end of World War Two in Europe.
VE Day is not only a tribute to those who fought for freedom but a powerful reminder of the resilience and unity that have defined our country ever since.
At 9pm beacons and Lamp Lights of Peace will shine across the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and UK Overseas Territories – symbolising the enduring strength of our communities.
Together, we honour the past and celebrate a future built on unity, hope, and peace.
