World War II: Anniversaries
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what plans her Department has to include local communities in VE and VJ Day commemorations.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
We all owe our freedom to those who served during the Second World War.
It is important that 80 years on, we will come together as a nation to thank those who fought and remember those who lost their lives. The Government is committed to a series of national and local events to show our gratitude to all those who fought and sacrificed in delivering lasting peace including local communities up and down the country.
