VE Day Celebrations

Britain is marking the 75th anniversary of VE Day. The Royal Family will lead tributes as the country remains in lockdown due to the coronavirus. Here in Uppingham we will mark a two-minute silence at 11:00 BST to honour servicemen and women who served during World War Two. In a letter to vetrans the Prime Minister has thanked the VE Day generation, saying "our gratitude will be eternal". Victory in Europe Day marks the day in 1945 when then-prime minister Sir Winston Churchill announced that the war in Europe had come to an end, after Nazi Germany unconditionally surrendered. |
