Lighting a Beacon
Peterborough City Council is proud to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day with a special public event on Wednesday, 8th May 2025. The day will begin with the raising of the VE Day 80 flag at 9:00 AM. In the evening, the community is invited to join us for a public commemorative event, culminating in the lighting of a beacon at 21:30pm —a symbol of unity—paying tribute to the courage and resilience of the wartime generation. Further details of the event, including timings and location, will be shared in due course. We encourage residents to take part in this historic occasion as we come together to reflect, remember, and honour the spirit of VE Day.
