The event at Cardiff’s Llandaff Cathedral comes a day before a ceremony at Wesminster Abbey.

Marking 80 years since the end of World War II in Europe, dozens gathered Thursday at the National World War II Memorial to commemorate Victory in Europe Day with a solemn ceremony honoring the sacrifice of Allied forces and the legacy of the “Greatest Generation.

Hazel Lodge in Battle have marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in style by throwing a vintage Garden Party for residents and the community. The home was decorated in red, white and blue and residents and staff dressed up in their 1940s-inspired glad rags and enjoyed an afternoon of live music and dancing.
