UK Celebrates The 80th Anniversary Of Victory In Europe Day | 10 News First

Thousands of people have lined the streets of London to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day this week.

The commemorations will take place over the next four days honouring the end of World War II when Nazi Germany officially surrendered to Allied forces on May 8, 1945.

More than 1,300 members of Britain's armed forces marched from outside parliament to Buckingham Palace before the parade concluded with a flypast by historic military aircraft and the Royal Air Force's Red Arrows display team.

Tea parties were part of the festivities of the day with King Charles and Queen Camilla hosting one at Buckingham Palace, along with Prime Minister Keir Starmer inviting veterans and other guests to join him outside his office at 10 Downing Street.
