In celebration of the 80th anniversary of VE Day on May 8, pubs in the UK will extend their opening hours by two hours, allowing for longer festivities that include concerts and commemorative events. The Prime Minister and Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the importance of honoring wartime sacrifices while fostering community spirit during this significant occasion. Commemorations will also feature military processions, a concert at Horse Guards Parade, and various events from May 5 to May 8, culminating in a service at Westminster Abbey.
