I wonder where?
On #VEDay80 the main things Leonard remembered were roly-poly pudding and bunting.
And I wondered then why his dad was at home.
Most dads weren’t yet.

All Saints Church in Cranham have had a memorial poppy made of stones in their churchyard since #VEDay80 was celebrated in May.
It will remain until #VJDay80 in August "... remembering those who 80 years ago were still fighting for freedom."

Spotted during my early morning dog walk today: glorious red poppies. With it being the 80th anniversary of VE Day this year, they really stood out.

Marking 80 years since VE Day #VEDay80 #TowerofLondon
Great to visit Standing Joint Command in Aldershot with the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme and see how they help protect us at home, as well as organising all the ceremonial events like #VEDAY80. The @DefenceHQ Police were very impressive as they staged a car chase and stop.
Join us Thursday 29 May (6.30–8pm) at Theatr Soar, Merthyr Tydfil, to mark 80 years since VE Day with The Silent Village (1943) featuring guest speakers — a film about the 1942 Lidice massacre, retold by the village of Cwmgiedd as if it happened in South Wales. #VEDay80 #TheSilentVillage
Good morning from our London site.
Come and visit the Commonwealth War Graves Commission ( cwgc.bsky.social) at their For Evermore trailer, today (Sun) and tomorrow (Bank Holiday Mon), to learn more about those they commemorate, and how we remember VE and VJ Day.

Coming home to a country that works for you? Or one that’s shut you out? Here’s how British democracy has been slowly dismantled — and what we must do about it.
#DemocracyWatch #VEDay80 #VoxPolitical

While you take your break, spare a thought: would those who fought for democracy in WWII recognise the UK today? From ignored voters to gagged protesters — what happened?
#VEDay80 #DemocracyInDecline #VoxPolitical
voxpoliticalonline.com?p=98211
Britain once beat fascism to win a future of freedom. Today, protest is policed, power evades scrutiny, and voices go unheard. Is this still a democracy? #DemocracyInCrisis #VoxPolitical #VEDay80 #UKPolitics

The Tower of London framed against perfect blue skies. The #VEDay80 Poppy display is pictured in front and all around the White Tower. In remembrance.
A dramatic view shewing poppies spilling down the wall past a window of the White Tower in the Tower of London. Like a waterfall of blood of the fallen who gave their lives for our freedoms.
Another dramatic poppy display, the old melding seamlessly with the new in London. A fountain of red under a tree, the Shard just visible in the background.
The Traitor’s Gate of the Tower of London. Dramatic installation of poppies flowing through the gate into what’s left of the moat, symbolising those who died for our freedoms #VEDay80
A busy week. Honoured to have been invited to the Tower of London yesterday to see the new temporary Poppy installation (poppies on loan from the Imperial War Museum) commemorating #VEDay80 Dramatic & poignant on a perfect blue sky day, do visit if you can (on until 11th November 2025.)
Attended the VE Day 80 multi-faith service at #Gurudwara Sahib Leamington. Shared a reading from the Isha Upanishad on oneness of humanity & met @highsheriffwar2 and the new Green Mayors of #Leamington & #Kenilworth on their first public engagements. #VEDay80 #UnityInDiversity
