The beacon on the Green, Purfleet will be lit by the Purfleet-on-Thames Community Forum at 9.30pm, Thursday 8 May to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day, one of many beacons being lit across the nation to commemorate this historic event. #ThurrockVEDAY

Tomorrow we will be marking VE Day in school. Alongside learning more about VE Day the children can come to school in red, white and blue.

Today is the 80th anniversary of #VEDay. We honour all those servicemen and women who served in the Second World War, and the sacrifices made. To those who gave so much, we thank you. #VEDay80 #WW2
