Erin Wilson+FollowVE Day 80th Anniversary Plans Revealed!Major throwback vibes incoming: the UK is marking 80 years since VE Day with a national two-minute silence at noon on May 8, 2025. Expect Union flags, a military procession, and an epic RAF flypast over London. Plus, pubs get to stay open two hours later (cheers to that!), and church bells will ring out just like they did in 1945. BBC One is even airing a live party from Horse Guards Parade. Who’s joining the celebrations? #VEDay80 #UKHistory #Celebration #RAF #LondonEvents #Culture440Share
