Instead, it has been moved to Friday, May 8 to take place on the same day as VE Day, which marks the end of the Second World War. This year is the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day,


generally known as VE Day and part of the original plan was to have more than 20,000 pubs encourage drinkers to toast the heroes of the war. However, this will not be possible this year due

formally recognising the end of the Second World War in Europe.
