Out of the ashes of the Second World War, we built a better Britain. To those who sacrificed then. To those making sacrifices today. Thank you.

As we wait for Her Majesty the Queen to address the nation tonight as her father did on VE Day, we reflect on the legacy of her generation – and the peace they built.

Please enjoy our tribute to all those  who stood together for a better future. We remember their service, and also their sacrifice.
