Street parties, concerts and a military flypast are just some of the ways the country is set to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.

On the 5th May, Bank Holiday Monday, there will be a military procession from Whitehall to Buckingham Palace and an RAF flypast over London.

Victory in Europe Day - to give it its full name - marks the end of the Second World War in Europe on 8 May 1945, when the Allies accepted the surrender of Nazi Germany.

Britons have also been urged to gather together in streets, gardens, town halls, clubs and pubs, similar to how people marked the end of nearly six years of war 80 years ago.

On VE Day itself, Thursday 8th May, the children will enjoy a street party-style lunch which will be outside- weather permitting. We would like the children to wear something red, white and blue that day.

Please see below the special street party lunch menu.
