UK Commemorates 80th Anniversary of VE Day with Beacon Lightings
Communities across the UK, including Cambridge, Bere Ferrers, and Binfield, are hosting beacon lighting ceremonies to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day, marking the end of World War Two in Europe. These events, organized by local councils and community groups, are part of a national chain of beacons symbolizing the peace that followed the war. In Cambridge, the ceremony will feature music and a speech from the deputy lieutenant, while Bere Ferrers and Binfield will include prayers, musical performances, and civic ceremonies. The commemorations aim to honor the millions who served in the UK and Commonwealth, bringing communities together to reflect on the historic significance of VE Day. Attendees are encouraged to join these free public events, many of which feature additional activities such as parades, refreshments, and commemorative items. The beacon lightings serve as a collective act of remembrance and celebration of the freedoms secured 80 years ago.
