V.E. Day

The 8^th May

The end of war in Europe V.E. day

Winston Churchill and the Royal family a sight to see

On the Buckingham Palace balcony

Huge crowds in London were there

At the Palace and Trafalgar Square

All over the land joy and jubilation

Parties, rejoicing and much celebration

We are grateful for the peace this bought

And to all of those who fought

Our nation with so much pride

Remembering sadly those who died

Now after eighty years we cannot neglect

To always remember and reflect

In the world, war and conflict still around

We must strive for lasting peace to be found
