Liverpool FC celebrates 75th anniversary of VE Day

Tuesday May 8, 1945 signalled the end of fighting in Europe during World War II and was the day on which allied forces announced the surrender of Germany across the continent.

The occasion is regarded as one of the grandest celebrations in British history, during which festivities took place in 1945 to greet the end of the Second World War.

To mark VE Day 75, two former soldiers from the LFC Foundation’s Military Veterans programme – John Hughes, Warrant Officer Class 1 from the Royal Logistic Corps, and Corporal Sean Connolly from the Royal Tank Regiment – will raise the Union Jack flag on the Kop at Anfield.
