VICTORY IN EUROPE DAY
A personal tribute:
How fortunate we all have been until this date. Let us live with hope for continuing motivation and treatment iof others to maintain PEACE between NATIONS and for the future.
Yes there have been wars and fighting since 1945.
Let us all show loving kindness.
No one has the right to abuse others.

The video of the signing of the Victory in Europe Treaty in this article feels poignant.
I've never before seen any of this footage.
I feel quite touched, with sadness at times like these, when I am not in UK to witness my country and its ancestors remember those who gave so much sacrifice.
In less than an hour as I type this, in UK there will be a 2 minute silence. I shall join that silence in gratitude.
Thank you to all those who eventually prevented and ended certain horrors of civilisation.
Lives were lost.
Peace be with us all as the world fights disease and dis-ease.
We must be vigilant in our conduct... not something i have always been aware of, brought up in a family, like many, where there were fractions after the Treaty was signed.

WITH THANKS TO WIKIPEDIA:
United Kingdom: VE Day is not an annual public holiday because of the proximity of the May Day bank holiday on the first Monday in May. In 1995 and 2020 the bank holiday was moved from the preceding Monday to the 8 May to commemorate the 50th and 75th anniversaries of VE Day, respectively.
FranceVE Day 8 May National public Orléans simultaneously celebrates both VE Day and the anniversary of the Siege of Orléans being lifted by French forces led by Joan of Arc during the Hundred Years War on this date.
Let us Go in Peace to love and serve the World with its glorious Beauty.
