A handwritten card on a wreath of spring flowers reading: For those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Second World War. We will remember them. William Catherine

In May, we marked the 80th anniversary of #VEDay with a special service in the Abbey.
The service began with a two-minute silence as the nation paid tribute to all those, who, both on the fighting fronts and on the home front, gave so much to protect our freedom and shared values.
#YearInPictures

Last weekend's Goodwood Revival included a celebration of VE Day, the end of the Second World War in Europe 80 years ago, with a party on the track emulating the jubilation in 1945 London.

Why is there so little fuss made of #VJDay80 compared with #VEDay?
After all, #VJDay was the end of #WWII.
And in the USA and Russia it seems to have been forgotten
Minister Stephanie Peacock, Gavin Barlow (Co-Director, Future Arts Centres), and participants plus facilitators & people from The Old Fire Station, Oxford
Thanks to Minister Peacock for visiting and recognising how arts centres help connect communities and explore what freedom means today.

Did aqua earlier.
Despite having marked the 2 minute silence on #VEDay the gym chose not to mark today's 2 minute silence for #VJDay
It's not known as the forgotten war for nothing.
E mail fired off expressing my dissatisfaction.
Fantastic interview with a 100 yr old War veteran about 13 mins in. #VEDay

A window display marking the anniversaries of VE Day and VJ Day, including mirrored silhouettes of a soldier in First World War dress.
Was pleased to see this display in an empty shop window in town earlier today. A nice gesture, but I'm puzzled by the use of the soldier silhouette - the shape references some well known First World War memorials, and isn't particularly fitting for a #WW2 anniversary. #VEDay #VJDay
