- On May 8, 2025, the Liverpool City Region marked eight decades since VE Day with a variety of events, including a parade in Liverpool and the lighting of beacons throughout the area.
- These commemorations followed Germany's unconditional surrender in May 1945, which ended conflict in mainland Europe and led to nationwide remembrance efforts.
- In Ilkley, a programme began with bell ringing at 6:30pm, followed by 1940s music, a community sing-along, and ended with a beacon lighting at Memorial Gardens at 9:30pm.
- Local veteran Mrs Pam Rae, who will celebrate her 100th birthday in 2025, reflected on her wartime service as a radar mechanic, while MP Robbie Moore emphasized that Victory in Europe Day provides us all with an opportunity to honor the many sacrifices made during the war.
- These events reinforced community remembrance and ongoing veteran support through initiatives like Armed Forces Breakfast Clubs and fundraising, including a sleepout for homeless veterans.
