An anniversary worth marking.
I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

He was shot down multiple times and escaped multiple POW camps. He died at home.
Farage is a twat. No pasarán.
My Ma & Pa, their siblings & friends all fought in the war.
My Ma did stuff in Vienna post Anschluss, but I don't know what.
None of them would talk about it & although they remembered, they hated the military parades.
They celebrated peace.
He joined the Home Guard and fought the fires in London. With that, and smoking to fight the stress, he died aged 49 of emphysema & heart attack. Also a casualty of war.😢
Women with children, like my mum, weren't forced to work but many did but queuing at the shops with ration books, used up a lot of time.
We also had smogs, fog + smoke in London then.
Still insisting that anti-fascists are the nation's real enemies, that the "dear leader" must be obeyed no matter how illegal he commands.
Mussolini, Hitler,and Stalin approves their goal !
Truman, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Nimitz, King along with all the men and women who fought that war and produced the industrial might needed to defeat fascism deserve our gratitude - forever!
What the trumpers have done to my flag daily in public in full view of children 🤮
Well done Mirror.
A brave cover choice.
The right choice
Odd to think 47 would remind our country of his back turned on Europe now that he’s Putin’s boy.
To hell with anything the fash says today, they are the problem.
I'm not one of them.
I love freedom and life.
Deepest gratitude to all those who sacrificed theirs to give me mine. I do not take it for granted
Thank you.
Indeed, never should we forget the horrors of war, but never should we repeat the same mistakes. We owe that gratitude to our forebears to safeguard the sanctity of life and challenge those who would destroy it for their own gain.
May our heroes rest in peace, we remember.
But a reminder that sometimes resistance is the only real choice.
Why DEI matters today.
Shame we aren't allowed to have one like that again.
Totalitarism and fascism are on the rise worldwide, and those who have the powers and means to stop them are doing nothing.
Democracy is dying.
You are failing Ukraine, and showing the US taxpayers and military what an unfit ally you are.
The Soviets, right?
Today, I find myself almost wishing for dementia's blessed relief of reality....Almost, then I come to my senses and keep cleaning my musket....
The TIME is coming....
I’ll be staying at home and remembering how proud my late dad was to have been in the force that liberated the Channel Islands.

(happy VD America) 🤡🙄
We must always remember
Call my cynical
The real problem? Absence of truth about anti Europe, fascist Farage,his connections to Putin, Heritage Foundation/Project 2025
Farage destroyed UK with Brexit. He’s not patriotic or loyal to anyone but himself & most probably to Russia
Shame we aren't allowed to have one like that again.
Pulling the strings.
To be fair, Europe has had 80 years of relative freedom from Fascist ideals. Long enough for some to forget the price of giving way to authoritarianism!!
America voting tRump twice ...
UK voting Reform and a few days later celebrating beating fascism ...
Often wondered how Hitler got into power and now I know when will the human race learn from history? It appears not soon enough!
#SlavaUkraïni
My Dad and his family were among the leaders in the Danish WWII Resistance too. ✌🏻

Shame on Reform voters
😞
Fascism is now celebrated by Reform and its voters and the far right media are complicit in its rise
History is forgotten 😞
Besides, we've got BBC News and they're almost at Fox levels of crap.
Why DEI is important today.
My parents were adults during WWII, but hadn't met. That happened in 1953 and I was born 8th May 1955
They always used the phrase, "to get rid of evil" and they said it with some passion
George Fredrick Thomas Burrows
8th January 1910 - 5th July 1941
Lost at sea in enemy action
So many lives lost and yet now we see fascism on the rise again.
He joined the NAAFI as a cook and served mostly in Middle East (Iraq as is now) and later Palestine: 'demobbed' 1947
You can imagine what they'd be saying if they were still alive - if you're brave enough!
🤜🏼🤜🏼🤜🏼🤜🏼🤜🏼🤜🏼
He was in Baghdad and Bazra during the war as a cook (very poor eyesight) and caught malaria which troubled him for most of his life
Chances are that he was fed by my Dad then!
Small world 🤗
🙏🏼
At least it's not Christmas Day!
Bad for us.
Bad for you.
Bad for all.
A time for perspective and to remember sacrifices made many years ago, as well as more recent ones.
Trump relies on "the poorly educated". So far the reliance is working for him. Trump is the President of the United States.
Trump Jr. is richer for it👇 More money. Fresh new girl friend.
Business is up! Life is good. America voted.

We need to make this "international hang a fascist dictator day"
Strip us of rights, work us to death while they prosper.
We'll live & die in poverty. They'll live in luxury cracking the whip.
A dictatorship!
Be careful what you're voting for.
Transparency, Scrutiny & Accountability.
#DumpTrump Exit #Brexit & unleash the Progressive Majority via PR.
Reinforce Democracy, Universal Human Rights & a Progressive Diverse Future.
Put Bigotry, Autocracy, Theocracy & Kleptocracy back in a box.
The victory over fascism wasn’t just military—it was moral, human, and visionary.
Today, as some twist history to serve new forms of domination, let’s honor what was truly at stake: peace, dignity, and the fight against dehumanization.
#Empathy
Then try to celebrate anything...
People from colonies also fought & died, not just White Europeans.
Patriots fight fascism
Patriots defend democracy
They do neither!
Today, we will know them for sure.
Expecting Reform to try and use the day for more squawking about patriotism, British values, "Our councils will now only fly the Union Flag on their buildings" etc.
from America’s FELON!
#Trumpler and #Yedolf
We're burying the last of our WWII vets now. We are as far in time from WWII as they were from the Civil War. They were burying the last of their Civil War vets then, I suppose.
The book was from a TV series in the early 70's.

V- E DAY
We defeated the fascist Mussolini, and we defeated the fascist Hitler.
In august, we defeated the Japanese.
Soon, we will defeat Trump and his Maga criminals.
Do not fear the clowns.
🥳🤠🥸
RESIST RESIST RESIST
But it is a lovely thought to dream, happy thoughts.
Have a lovely day.🫠
I don't consider us a military family. I consider us patriots. Thank you for making it worthwhile.
And if you believe, a prayer for my twenty year old grandson on active duty in the navy. The newest generation.
Or how we got to trump explained. Or a good reason why our own government is the biggest problem we have facing us. Or why the US is far worse a threat than Hitler ever was. Pointing out stuff again nobody wants to think about but everyone needs to for their own survival.
Because apparently, 'fascism' isn't dead, unfortunately.
Dope, Dope, Dope
Wants a Birthday parade...... the english have one, the French have one
Dope, Dope has had 2 and cant have 30 any more
Approximately 24,000 Allied troops died in the hard fought Nazi retreat.
After he joined the Mirror in 1937 aged 28, he relentlessly criticised fascism
