A very special street party. Today, we were honoured to host veterans of 1945 and the service men and women of today to celebrate #VEDay80.

A special #VE80 moment on @10DowningStreet today. 🎉 Schoolchildren took part in #VEMail alongside veteran Colin Deverell, recipient of the Légion d’Honneur - sharing letters, stories, cake & smiles in a celebration of service and connection! 🍰✨💌 #GreatBritishFoodFestival



This is special. This is what #VEMail is all about. 📮 This morning on @BBCBreakfast WWII veteran Tom Jones met schoolchildren who had received his letter and written back to him. 💌 Join in, request a letter from a living WWII veteran: together.org.uk/ve80/vemail #VE80







Ahead of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War - ten veterans have issued a @togethercoalit letter to the British public, urging us all to mark VE Day by remembering the sacrifices made. @susannareid100 and Richard talk to 104 year-old veteran Colin Bell.








One month to go. We’re on HMS Duncan, calling on the nation to stand together, just like we did 80 years ago. This May, let’s show our pride, honour the fallen, and celebrate what they fought for. Let’s do this properly. A special mention to Commander Lee, thanks for having us! R
