The beginning of the VE Day celebrations have begun with British war leader Winston Churchill's VE Day speech read out, a military parade and a flypast. The UK government has planned a series of events in the run-up to the anniversary of Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender that took effect on May 8, 1945. It is observed around that date in many countries, including France, the United States and Russia. 📸AS1 Leah Jones RAF/UK MOD/Handout via Reuters #veday #europe #victoryineurope #uk
