VE Day 80

Published: 18 April 2025

VE-Day, 8 May 1945, marked the end of WW2 in Europe. Victory in Europe came after a long and bitter conflict that had divided Europe for 6 years. It was met with jubilation across the nations and there are those amongst us today who will remember the moment the end of the conflict came.

On Thursday 8 May 2025, 80 years on, we will be commemorating this significant anniversary as well as remembering those who fought and those who lost their lives during the 6 years of conflict of WW2. Those who left their families at home to defend freedom and bring peace, we remember their sacrifices and the bravery that secured the liberty that we enjoy today. 

 Isycoed Community Council is hosting a VE Day 80 celebration event on 8th May during the early evening at the Isycoed Village Hall. All residents are invited to come along and join in.

Church Bells will be rung and a beacon lit to join in at the same time with many other communities around the country. The VE Day 80 flag will be raised and all invited to join in with singing 'I Vow to Thee My Country'.

The fish and chip van will be on the car park and refreshments served from inside the village hall. 

Church Bells to be rung at 6.30pm.

Beacon to be lit at 7.30pm

Join in with singing ‘I Vow to Thee my Country’
