When is VE Day 2020?
VE Day 2020 takes place on Friday May 8 in the United Kingdom. This year, it will be on a Bank Holiday - a decision that has been made specially to honour the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
This day is also known as ‘Victory in Europe Day’. It was celebrated on 8th May, 1945 to mark the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Nazi Germany’s unconditional surrender of its armed forces. This marked the end of World War II in Europe.
