VE (Victory in Europe) Day in May 1945 signified an end to six long years of devastating warfare which took the lives of millions and injured 75 million people globally.
In towns and cities right across the UK, the relief of victory was celebrated with street parties, dancing and singing. Blesma is delighted to once again unite its Members, supporters, friends, and families in commemoration of that special historic day 76 years ago.
A special online event will be held from 2-3pm on 08 May showcasing nostalgic war-time music from a live band. Why not gather the whole family around the ‘wireless’ and take in the spirit of the day?
Also, keep an eye out for Blesma’s special VE Day-themed activities which will include bunting making and crafts.
Why not support the Association by taking on the VE Day 76 Challenge? You could run 7.6km, walk 7.6 miles, bake 76 cupcakes, climb the stairs 76 times, or do 76 star jumps. Your victory effort is entirely up to you!
And once you have completed your challenge you can celebrate VE Day in style by holding your own VE Day celebration with your victory pack!
