Today marks 75 years since VE Day as the United Kingdom remembers the end of war in Europe.
VE Day is recognised every year with street parties, community gatherings, and acknowledgement from the Armed Forces.
The most recent significant celebrations were in 2015, when the 70th anniversary of VE Day was marked with three days of celebrations.
The coronavirus outbreak means that there will be no street parties, parades or concerts this year, but there is plenty going on to celebrate.
A national two minute silence will be take place at 11am, which will be broadcast on the BBC. This will give Britons the opportunity to pause and reflect, remembering the lives lost and sacrifices made in wartime.
