The celebrations in London will be echoed by other events across the country to mark VE Day 70 with local authorities and communities encouraged to participate.
People are encouraged to celebrate with members of their communities who contributed to the war effort throughout World War 2. The Royal British Legion, as the national custodian of Remembrance, will act as the governments key partner in leading the nation in marking the commemoration, including hosting a major reception for 2,000 veterans in St Jamess Park.
