This year is the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. It was the most devastating and lethal war in history.
The Royal British Legion will pay tribute to the Second World War generation, from British, Commonwealth and Allied Forces, in marking VE Day (8th May) and VJ Day (15th August).
At the heart of our events will be the men and women who served and gave so much to secure peace and the freedoms we enjoy today. We invite communities to organise events and exhibitions to recognise the service and sacrifice of the war generation, and we have produced a range of resources to help.
If you would like to learn more about our events in 2025, please visit Remembering the end of the Second World War.

The Royal British Legion is proud to be recognised as a national champion of Remembrance.
Our Remembrance events are just one of the ways we can help to ensure the sacrifices of those who served are never forgotten.
