VE Day 2025
Today, on the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we remember the courage, sacrifice and resilience of those who served and gave so much for our freedom.
Let us honour their legacy by standing up for peace, unity and a fairer future for all.
Today and always we should be proud of everything they achieved, and remember with gratitude all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our country and our freedoms – who gave their tomorrows for our todays.
British leadership offered real hope for the world, and has continued to, despite all the challenges that have followed. In war and in peace, the United Kingdom has remained a powerful force for good. That is what the world needed 80 years ago, and it’s what the world needs so badly again now.
Sir Ed Davey, Leader of the Liberal Democrats
