VE DAY 80th ANNIVERSARY 2025
Calling out for Memories of World War II
2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII, Thursday 8th May being VE (Victory in Europe) Day and Friday 15th August VJ (Victory over Japan) Day.
Various events will take place over the country such as Church Bells ringing out, and the lighting of Beacons and Lamp Lights of Peace at 9.30pm on 8th May. Communities are also being encouraged to hold parties of celebration.
Here in Liphook we will hold a VE Day Fair on the Millennium Green on Sunday 11th May and the Community Magazine would also like to mark the occasion. Do you or your family have any memories or stories of interest about WWII or even VE Day itself? If so, we would love to feature them.
If you think you may have a story, however short, please email our Editor Fay Boyett at fay.lcm@outlook.com and we will do our best to include it in a future issue this year.
