VE day 80 – 2 minutes’ silence to remember

At 12:00 on May 8th, our team downed tools and took 2 minutes to remember.

“Together, we honour the past and celebrate a future built on unity, hope, love and peace”

Today we mark the historic 80th anniversary of VE Day, with the peoples, families and communities of our great nation coming together to unite and celebrate 80 years of peace since the end of World War II in Europe that so many millions paid the ultimate sacrificed to achieve it.

VE Day 80 is not only a tribute to those who fought for the freedom we all enjoy today, but also a powerful reminder of the resilience and unity that have defined our country ever since – Pageantmaster Bruno Peek, CVO, OBE, OPR
