VE Day Eighty

On the 8th of May 1945, after six long years of conflict, the guns fell silent across Europe. It was more than the end of a devastating war – it was the beginning of a bright new future.

VE Day is more than a historical milestone. It stands as a moment to reflect on the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of those who fought on the front lines, in the skies, and on the home front.

It is important to honour our history – not just through remembrance, but through action. By learning from the past, we strengthen our commitment to working with integrity, supporting one another, and building a better future.

To the generations who came before — and to those shaping the world now — we remember, we respect, and we carry forward your legacy.

“This is your victory! It is the victory of the cause of freedom in every land. In all our long history we have never seen a greater day than this. Everyone, man or woman, has done their best.”
Winston Churchill

We remember. 80 years on. Lest we forget.
