 | Rejoice on this 75th Anniversary of VE Day. Sadly, because of this wretched virus, all the planned celebrations and parades in central London and street parties in the suburbs - and almost certainly in other cities across Europe and the world - have been cancelled which is a great shame. But we must not forget the great sacrifices made during that terrible conflict and I hope you will spend a moment or two today to celebrate in whatever way you can. There will be a 2 minutes silence at 11 a.m. in the UK. Luv RM xxx:x :x :x |
"Around the world, nations celebrate VE Day as a defeat of Nazi Germany. But in Germany, VE Day is both a day to remember victims of fascism and a moment to celebrate freedom from fascism. ... For years many Germans viewed May 8 as a day of defeat."
