Today marks 75 years since VE Day as the United Kingdom remembers the end of war in Europe.
VE Day is recognised every year with street parties, community gatherings, and acknowledgement from the Armed Forces. The coronavirus outbreak means that there will be no street parties, parades or concerts this year, but there is plenty going on to celebrate.
A national two minute silence took place at 11am, which gave Britons the opportunity to pause and reflect, remembering the lives lost and sacrifices made in wartime. The RAF's Red Arrows also roared over parts of the UK, in a special flypast to mark the anniversary.
