SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, leads the nation's VE Day 80 celebrations, saluting 'Our Greatest Generation' with music, dance and first-hand stories of the wartime generation.
The RAF Squadronaires, part of The Central Band of the Royal Air Force, will take the audience back in time with iconic 1940s favourites, while the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra will perform the nation’s best loved classical anthems, both joined by guest vocalists.
The event will feature untold personal accounts of those who were there 80 years ago to the day, as well as the key moments that led to the end of the Second World War in Europe, with performances and narration by stars from stage and screen.
