WWII veterans gather for ‘most moving occasion’

SURVIVING World War Two veterans joined thousands of people at events across Britain yesterday as the nation marked the 60th anniversary of VE Day.

The Prince of Wales launched commemorations at a moving service at the Cenotaph, laying a wreath in tribute to the fallen as dozens of former servicemen lined up along Whitehall to watch.

Prince Charles later watched around 2,300 veterans from across the Commonwealth parade through Hyde Park to the strains of five military bands.
