Royal tribute to honour war heroes with nationwide remembrance events
King Charles will lead the nation in marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day with a series of poignant tributes dedicated to war veterans.
A special Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey will take place, attended by senior royals including Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. The event will also welcome the Prime Minister and families of military personnel.
On May 8, the King will preside over a solemn ceremony at the Cenotaph, commemorating eight decades since the conclusion of World War II in Europe, Mirror reported.
The UK government has outlined plans for nationwide remembrance events, with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer describing the occasion as a moment for the country to come together in reflection and gratitude.
Despite recent health challenges, King Charles remains determined to honour Britain’s war heroes. Buckingham Palace is expected to share a personal tribute from His Majesty, recognising the sacrifices of WWII veterans and all who have served in the years since.
