VE Day 80th Anniversary Collectors Edition

VE Day 80th Anniversary Collectors Edition

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day on 8 May, The Daily Mirror brings you a special collector's edition magazine that looks back on the events that led to the end of World War II in Europe and marked the beginning of a new era.

We share photographs from the street parties that were held all over Britain, while esteemed author and journalist Paul Routledge paints a picture of how the day was bittersweet, mixed with jubilation and hope for the future, as well as sadness and regret for the past.

Routledge also recounts the key events of the Second World War, including Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and Pearl Harbour.
