Nations across Europe will celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day - or Victory in Europe Day - which marks the day where fighting against Nazi Germany ended during the Second World War.
Prime minister Winston Churchill announced on the radio on 8 May 1945 that the war in Europe had come to an end after Germany surrendered the day before. While the war continued in other parts of the world and many people were being kept as prisoners of war abroad, people in the UK celebrated the end of the war for them.
