THE 80th ANNIVERSARIES OF VICTORY IN EUROPE AND VICTORY OVER JAPAN<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year marks 80 years since Victory in Europe (VE) Day when the Second World War came to an end in Europe. The long-anticipated news resulted in millions celebrating the end of the war, with street parties, dancing and singing across the country. The war in the Far East did not end until 15 August 1945, when Japan surrendered, which was celebrated across the world as \u2018Victory over Japan\u2019 (VJ Day), the end of the Second World War.<\/p>\n

The Second World War touched every aspect of life and had a devastating impact on those who experienced it, and for the generations after. From the sailors, soldiers and aviators who fought, to children who were evacuated, and all those who stepped into essential roles on the home front, we owe our freedoms of today to the Second World War generation who 80 years ago paid the ultimate sacrifice in giving generations lasting peace. It will be a time for us to come together to listen to their stories and reflect on their values that ensured the Allied victory – service and selflessness across our nation.<\/p>\n

We are hoping Street parties, BBQs and community get togethers will be held across the Borough echoing the celebrations 80 years ago.<\/p>\n
