Eighty years after the Allies' victory over Nazi Germany, Europe commemorates Victory in Europe Day with parades and memorials. In Britain, Prime Minister Keir Starmer celebrated the day as a victory for good against evil. Commemorations feature military parades and national moments of silence, with citizens participating in street parties. In contrast, Germany's observance focuses on the horrors of fascism, reflecting a more somber view of liberation. Amid these reflections, contemporary fears about security in Europe arise due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and tensions with the United States.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized the significance of the victory in World War II, stating it was a triumph not only for Britain but for goodness against hatred.
A military parade in London featured troops saluting with King Charles III present, symbolizing continuity and respect for citizens who served during World War II.
