Following on from the enormous success of D-Day 80 - 6th June 2024, in which we all commemorated the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France, Through the lighting of over one thousand beacons and five hundred lamp lights of peace throughout the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK overseas territories that night, we are now focusing all our efforts on the celebration of the 80th Anniversary of VE Day which marked the end of the war in Europe and WWII as a whole on 8th May 1945, in a similar way.  To find out further information, click on this link to visit the dedicated VE Day 80 website.
