Islington is celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day with various community events, including a beacon-lighting ceremony at Dartmouth Park on May 8. The festivities include a Remembrance Parade organized by the Islington Veterans' Association, featuring a service and a wreath-laying ceremony attended by local leaders and veterans. VE Day signifies the end of World War II in Europe, marking the surrender of Nazi Germany. The Mayor of Islington encourages community participation to remember and celebrate this historic moment of unity and resilience.
VE Day is a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and unity shown by people during one of the darkest chapters in our history.
These events are part of a wider programme of commemorative activities being organised across the borough.
