VE Day: What is it, when is it and why do we remember?

VE Day – or ‘Victory in Europe Day’ – marks the day towards the end of World War Two (WW2) when fighting came to an end.

How was VE Day celebrated?
Tuesday 8 May, 1945, was an emotional day that millions of people had been waiting for.  Many people were extremely happy that the fighting had stopped and there were big celebrations and street parties.

Here are the answers to the photo above.
Huge crowds – with lots of people dressed in red, white and blue – gathered outside Buckingham Palace in London. They cheered as King George VI and his family, including Princess Elizabeth (the current queen) and Princess Margaret, came out onto the balcony to greet everybody.
Princess Elizabeth and her sister were allowed to leave the palace and celebrate with crowds outside, although they had to do it secretly.
The future Queen described it as “one of the most memorable nights of my life”. Many people also attended church services to thank God for the victory. 
Watch it here.
