Friday 8 May is the 75th anniversary of V E Day.
Although the events planned to mark the commemoration have been postponed or cancelled, there are still many resources available online.
The Royal British Legion calls on the nation to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day from home.
Join us on Friday 8 May as we pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of the entire Second World War generation, from British, Commonwealth and Allied Forces to evacuees and those who served on the home front. As we face some of the most challenging times since the end of the Second World War, now more than ever it is important to unite in recognition of service to the nation, just as communities did 75 years ago.
