COMMUNITIES are being urged to come together and celebrate the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) this May.
The Royal British Legion and the Government is calling on the nation to mark the occasion with a weekend of events from May 8 to 10.
Vice Admiral Peter Wilkinson CB CVO, national president of The Royal British Legion, said: “We are honoured to play our part in helping the nation mark 70 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe."
The Legion has a responsibility to help the memories of those of who have fought and died in our nation’s Armed Forces live on for future generations.
"The commemoration of this conflict, still in living memory, gives us the opportunity to salute the Second World War generation.
"We hope that all communities will use the VE Day 70 commemorations to thank them and celebrate the role they played in our nation’s history."
