King Charles, Queen Camilla, and wider members of the Royal Family will commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) with a series of scheduled engagements.

May 8, 1945, is a day etched in the memory of many, and was the day near the end of World War Two when fighting against Nazi Germany in Europe stopped.
