At 12pm join your neighbours in singing, “We’ll meet again.”

At 3pm we are asked to join the 'Nation's Toast to the Heroes of WW2' from the safety of our own homes. The official toast is: 'To those who gave so much, we thank you.'

Portsmouth Cathedral invite us to #bigpicnicforhope a stay-at-home picnic in your home or garden to celebrate the occasion..

They ask us to consider, please, making a donation to the Roberts Centre

At 9pm Fareham Borough Council are urging residents to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day by singing along to the famous wartime song by Vera Lynn, WE’LL MEET AGAIN

Sunday 10th May from 7am Online Reflective Service, with Revd. Susan Allman (Vicar) on the St. Peter’s Church website www.stpetertitchfield.org.uk on the theme of VE Day.

The service will be available for you to join in with at any time from 7am on Sunday morning and will last for no more than 30minutes.

An order of service will be available to print from the website from Friday 8th May.

Although Friday’s picnic will be at lunchtime it is most likely residents will party on for the rest of the afternoon.
