About the event
Eighty years ago on 8th May 1945 the United Kingdom and its allies from around the globe celebrated VE Day – the end of the war in Europe.
St Andrews Pipe band, Hound Parish Council and local residents are coming together to commemorate what came to be known as VE Day.
We remember of those millions that gave so much to achieve the freedom we all enjoy today.
The Tribute
Let us remember those who gave their lives at home and abroad, whose sacrifice enables us to all enjoy the peace we have today.
Let us remember those who came home, wounded, physically and mentally, and the friends and family who cared for them.
