VE Day celebrations

VE Day celebrations

VE Day stands for Victory in Europe Day. This year, we mark 75 years since the end of World War II.

In 1945, 50,000 people packed into Piccadilly Circus waving flags and dancing and singing.

Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared a national holiday during a broadcast from the War Cabinet Office to tell the nation war was over.

King George VI also addressed the nation on the radio, paying tribute to those who “laid down their lives” during the war.

What can you do at home to celebrate and remember?
