Following the success of D-Day 80, in which over one thousand Beacons and Lamp Lights of Pears were lit on 6 June 2024, commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France, on 6 June 1944, we are now focusing our efforts on the celebration of the 80th Anniversary of VE Day on 8 May 2025, celebrating the end of the war in Europe and WWII as a whole.
