Britain begins four days of VE Day commemorations today Thousands of people are expected to line the streets of central London today, watching a ceremony that includes a military procession of 1,300 members of the armed forces.

I'd rather they spend money ending and avoiding wars in the modern day rather than remembering conflicts past 😞
