A message from our Chair on the 80th anniversary of VE Day

Mid Suffolk District Council Chair, Cllr Daniel Pratt, said:

“We celebrate the historic 80th anniversary of VE Day – not only as a tribute to those who fought for our freedom and democracy, but also a powerful reminder of our resilience, and how we came together across classes, religions, races and nations to defeat the scourge of fascism.  

"By remembering, we can hope to avoid it ever happening again.”

In addition to the national celebrations, there are local events taking place at schools, nursing homes, churches and village halls across our region.  Find out more: VE Day 2025 Celebrations & Events Across the UK - VE Day 80
