00:0080 years ago today, the United Kingdom and its allies from around the globe celebrated VE Day, the end of the war in Europe.
00:16Today, as we come together to commemorate what came to be known as VE Day,
00:22our thoughts turned to thanksgiving and remembrance of those millions that gave so much to achieve the freedom we all enjoy today.
00:33We remember those we lost, those who were wounded or scarred, those whose lives were forever changed by war.
00:42Nobody was immune from the impact of that terrible conflict. Let us pause to remember their sacrifice.
00:51We reflect too upon the words of our late and glorious Queen Elizabeth,
00:59Never give up, never despair.
01:02And so we offer thanksgiving for the selflessness of those who gave up so much
01:09in order that future generations should enjoy the blessings of freedom, democracy and peace.
01:18God save the King!
