One of our two May bank holidays, the early one, known as May Day, was moved by the Government to coincide with the 75th anniversary of VE Day, or Victory Day in Europe. VE Day marks the the day in 1945 when the Nazis surrendered to the Allies in the Second World War, which ended the Second World War in Europe.

However, like all other mass gatherings and general activities involving leaving our homes, all public VE Day events have now been cancelled - so all commemorations will have to be kept indoors.

UK Parliament have produced new videos and resource packs for primary pupils which are suitable for use at home.
