VE Day - 80 years ago!

 Here is a Snapshot of what the Celebrations of the 80th anniversary of VE Day are about on May 8th 2025



 Lord Lovat at Pegasus Bridge June 1944......


          Fitzroy MacLean with Josip Broz Tito......


As the Poster suggests - the historic Meeting of American and Soviet Troops at the Elbe.....


More Meetings - Scotland meets USSR Allies......


.......and to show that Victory was owed as much to the many Women who fought. British and Soviet Men and Women celebrate......


The iconic Image of William Robertson and Alexandr Silvashko - seen as a symbol of post War Peace and Hope........


Comrades in Arms.......




Several Allied Headlines on the day ...... starting with Britain......



America .......


France .......



The Soviet Union .......


I could mention 100's of others ....... all brilliant


On the Day ..... Street Scenes .....

Churchill addresses the Crowd in London....


Trafalgar Square ......



New York ......


Paris .....


Moscow ......


And we could have visited every Allied City and Town on the day and seen similar Scenes as People celebrated the end of nearly 6 years of War in Europe.



And to show none of it would have been possible without each other ..... The famous Handshake Poster of some of the Allies who fought .......


Happy VE Day - 1945 - 2025!!!!!!!!
