On this day, 1945 -#VEDAY- guns fell silent, lights went on and Britons celebrated the total defeat of Nazi Germany and her allies. It was a day of celebration but also reflection, as millions had lost their lives or loved ones. And Japan remained to be defeated in the Pacific. https://t.co/JO7aK7evc5

Never again happened. Pick something the Nazi's did & Russia's doing exactly the same - including ethnic cleansing, denouncing a race of people as subhuman & encouraging violence and hatred towards them. It's not Putin you see, it's Hitler. #VEDay. https://t.co/25INbbGgX1

And when weaker men counselled peace with Herr Hitler, Churchill responded with, “We will fight them on the beaches….” The greatest Briton 🇬🇧 #VEDay https://t.co/sb3f7Hr9MV
