Happy VE Day 2020!
What is VE day?
From the BBC:Victory in Europe (VE) Day on 8 May 1945 saw Britain and its Allies formally accept Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender after almost six years of war.More here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52557524
At 15:00, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced on the radio that the war in Europe had come to an end, following Germany's surrender the day before.
Spontaneous celebrations broke out across the country and the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, and her sister Princess Margaret, ventured out with a group of friends to experience the excitement in London.
Of course, with social distancing still in place here in the UK, people will hopefully be celebrating safely from home.
We will be watching it all on telly!
We've included this lovely cover of Dame Vera Lynn's wartime classic We'll Meet Again by The D-Day Darlings, featuring Shirlie Kemp.

Happy VE Day!
We have put Union flags up along our wooden fence so people walking along the lane will see them as they pass.
Church bells will peel today at 2 pm, in honour of VE Day.
We've lost so many of our WWII veterans now; we must not forget their sacrifice.
Happy VE DAY!Thank you both for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I consider being a cat mom a success too. I wouldn't want to be anything other than that. And Athena, you are a sweetie, I am sure your mum doesn't ever get mad at you even if you keep her awake. Have a nice weekend. XO
Happy VE day.
Love both your fill-ins and especially Goddess Athena's. Being spoiled is a good thing.

Happy VE Day. Grampa fought in that one. It's amazing how many of us cats keep our humans up when we can't sleep. HAH!
Happy belated VE Day! And thank you both for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! We really like how you both answered #3. There's nothing more rewarding than a happy cat in a happy home, is there? Purrs!
