This year marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe, with the Second World War coming to an end in the continent. On May 8, 1945, the guns fell silent and war finally came to an end in Europe, with joyous celebrations erupting across the country. VE Day celebrations usually consist of plenty of community events, street parties and bountiful bunting. A number of events in St Albans and Harpenden have already been organised to mark the occasion.

(Image: Chiltern Brewery) Chiltern Brewery is doing me the great honour of making a special edition of one of its beers to thank me for my support for independent craft brewing over many years.
