What can we learn from the VE Day commemorations?

from The Standard

After several days of commemoration events to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, culminating in a memorial service today at Westminster Abbey, we’re joined by Laura Clouting, Senior Curator at the Imperial War Museum, to explore why the historic event still holds importance in today’s society and what we can learn from those who endured the Second World War. Plus, as Sir David Attenborough celebrates his 99th birthday, he releases a new film with possibly one of his most important messages to date. The London Standard’s Culture writer, Vicky Jessop, joins us to tell us what we can expect from ‘Ocean’.  Hosted on Acast.
