80 years ago, the guns fell silent across Europe, marking the end of World War II. We remember the incredible bravery sacrifice, & resilience of those who served. Their courage in the face of unimaginable adversity will never be forgotten. #VEDay #VEDay80 #VE80 #LestWeForget 🌺

Today, 80 Years on from VE Day, we remember all those who never came home to enjoy the freedoms they won. We remember all the young men and women who gave their all to liberate Europe and allow us all to live the lives we have today. Thank you our heroes. #VE80

An honour for our Cadets to showcase their Drill talent and represent @2NIACF , Army Cadets UK and Irish Guards at the Killyleagh VE80 Celebrations ☘️💂

Our final VE80 event after a busy week saw our Drill Team put on another gleaming display for a packed community hall in our hpme village of Ballygowan. Once again great ambassadors for @2NIACF Army Cadets UK Irish Guards ☘️💂

Let us never forget the thousands of brave young Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen who 81 years ago, left their homes and their families to land in Normandy and who gave their lives to change the course of history and win us the freedoms we have today.
