VE 75 Celebrations
The special day will evoke memories of the jubilant scenes on the
streets as Britons cast off the shackles of war - but the service
and sacrifice of the WW2generation will not be forgotten.
At 11am there will be a national two-minute silence, which will
also honour those so devastatingly affected by the coronavirus
crisis, and DBS staff are invited to
participate from their homes. There is no right or wrong way to
take part - some may wish to stand at their windows, step outside
while remaining socially distanced, watch the broadcast on TV or
simply sit in quiet reflection.
Whilst the UK is unable to celebrate this day as originally
planned, it is important that we do everything we can to
virtually mark the 75th Anniversary of VE Day on Friday 8 May. You
can tune into TV coverage on the day to pay tribute and respect
to the Second World War Generation. There will be various
dedicated shows across radio stations and TV channels.
