Today marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day. A moment to remember the end of conflict in Europe, and to honour the sacrifices made by so many.

This VE Day, we reflect on the lives changed by war and the stories that continue to help us understand its legacy.

We’re proud to work with William Ryan, author of The Constant Soldier, a powerful novel set in the final months of WWII. His writing brings to life the human cost of conflict and the quiet acts of resistance that shape history.

Lest we forget.
