Members of the public are invited to join the Royal British Legion and Salisbury City Council on Thursday, 8th May at 5:30 pm on the Guildhall Square, in commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe, known as Victory in Europe Day (VE Day).
The Salisbury Band of the Royal British Legion will provide music from 5 pm, and the Town Crier will deliver the VE80 Proclamation at Salisbury’s War Memorial at 6 pm.
A short Act of Remembrance will then follow.
The short service will provide an opportunity for everyone to pause for a moment and reflect on the many millions of people who died during this conflict, as well as pay tribute to those who fought and died for the freedom we all enjoy today.
The bells of St Thomas’ church will ring out afterwards, joining other churches and cathedrals in celebration of the end of this terrible conflict in Europe.
