National Press Release – Join the Party of the Century Celebrating 80 Years of Peace on VE Day 80

Get ready for the biggest community celebration of the decade! On May 8, 2025, the entire nation, along
with our friends and allies around the world, will come together for VE Day 80, marking 80 years of peace.
This is more than just a commemoration – it’s a joyful celebration of reconciliation, unity, and the lasting
peace that has brought us together.

Bruno Peek CVO OBE OPR Pageantmaster, who has successfully led many national commemorations
including D-Day 80 and our late Queen Elizabeth’s Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilees, along with the
Queen’s 90th Birthday as many other historic anniversaries over the last forty years, is once again
spearheading this very special event on 8th May this year. “We, as a nation and alongside our allies, are
committed to making this the largest celebration of the Victory in Europe since the day it was announced 80
years ago by the great Winston Churchill,” said Bruno Peek. “It’s a time to pay tribute to the many millions
who sacrificed so much for the freedoms we all enjoy today.”

This year, VE Day 80 will be all about bringing the peoples, families and communities of our great nation
together in a spirit of celebration and peace. From the bustling streets of London to the quiet villages of the
countryside, from the four countries of the UK to the Channel Islands to the Isle of Man, and to the countries that
once stood shoulder.
