Encouraging communities to celebrate 80th anniversary of VE Day

With just a few days to go, there is much councils can do to make sure the legacy of VE Day and its veterans live on in our communities, says Jo Blackman.

Councils across the UK will be at the heart of community celebrations and commemoration  events for the 80th anniversary of VE Day - a significant moment in our history. 

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has confirmed a full week's worth of events, from community events taking place on the bank holiday, Monday 5 May to national commemorations on Thursday 8 May.
