ROYAL NAVY’S SILENCE, SOUND AND LIGHT TRIBUTE FOR VE DAY 75
07 May 2020
The sirens of Royal Navy ships will blare and their searchlights pierce the darkness on Friday May 8 as the nation marks 75 years since VE Day.
From the immortal White Cliffs of Dover to the sands of Bahrain and Caribbean and windswept Falklands, the men and women of the Naval Service will join their countryfolk in paying homage to our greatest generation and remember the sacrifices made between 1939 and 1945.
The Royal Navy lost more than 250 warships defeating Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy; more than 40,000 sailors and Royal Marines were killed in the Atlantic, Arctic and Mediterranean.
The coronavirus pandemic has forced the cancellation of many large-scale events marking the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day – which is a national holiday – including a parade in London involving veterans.
