May 8th, 1945 to May 8th, 2015
On the first day of the VE Day festivities a national two-minute silence will be held at The Cenotaph at 3pm on Friday, May 8, marking the moment prime minister Winston Churchill broadcast his historic speech to formally announce the end of the war. It will be followed by the lighting of more than 100 beacons, stretching from Newcastle to Cornwall.

The day was called V-E Day, VE Day, or just V Day(as the United States celebrates). Though we do not have references in CC of the campaigns, we can take a trip across Europe by Rail or by foot. Those soldiers fighting back then would be amazed at the sights of “Smart Phones” that we have today. One living soldier boasts today “If we had “Smart Phones” back then our packs would be a lot lighter!” Other soldiers have commented “We got by with our guns and helmets, we didn’t need the technology that we have in today’s world.”
Whichever part of the world you belong to, there was a sense of joy when leaders of all nations declared that the Nazi’s were defeated and laid down their weapons. Seventy years later, with many still living, Dignitaries, Government Leaders, Soldiers, and Monarchs will gather over a 3 day weekend to mourn the passing of many men who dedicated their lives to freedom from Nazi tyranny, and to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of VE Day.
