Veterans are set to celebrate the end of the Second World War with the Royal Family today. A series of events including a flypast will be taking place today to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of WW2 in Europe.
Veterans aged from 98 to 104 are set to meet King Charles for a tea party at Buckingham Palace later today. A 98-year-old former prisoner of war, a 99-year-old who served in the Desert Rats and took part in the D-Day landings and a 100-year-old woman who worked in the Special Operations Executive (SOE), known as Churchill's Secret Army, are among 30 veteran guests of honour, according to the Royal British Legion (RBL), who helped organise the event.
They will have prime spots to watch the military parade and flypast in central London as the nation's VE Day 80th anniversary celebrations begin.
