VE Day 80th Anniversary celebration to be held in Southport
The service is open to all members of the public to attend at the Service at the Southport Cenotaph, but any members of the Armed Forces and any Veterans wishing to take part are asked to form up at:- 10.40 am, at the South Colonnade. The organisers of the Service have expressed we say that:- all medals, berets and regimental blazers are encouraged to be worn by those actively taking part. Afterwards, tea, coffee and cakes will be served at the Southport Royal British Legion gazebo by the Colonnade to raise funds for the RBL Community hub on Wesley Street in Southport. A Sefton Council has said:- "The 8 May 2025 marks the 80th Anniversary of the end of the 2nd World War and peace in Europe. To celebrate this occasion, many national events are planned for the 1st week of May. These events include street parties, which are a particular British tradition and for over a century become linked with national and royal events. This year is no different and to celebrate VE Day 80 Sefton has received a number of requests for street parties to take place in residential streets throughout the borough. The requests have been scrutinized and given the location within the local highway network and the volume of any through traffic, a list of agreed streets has been formed. Given that it is impossible at this stage to assess what the weather will be like over the Bank Holiday weekend, organizers are planning street parties on any 1 of the days over the weekend and because the formal day of the occasion is nearer to the following weekend, some organizers have said they wish to hold their street party on:- Saturday, 10 May 2025. The street parties are also taking part at various times of the days in question between:- 9 am and 11 pm. It is therefore suggested that the legal order containing the streets should extend for both weekends from:- 3 May, until:- 10 May 2025, from:- 9 am to 11 pm. All organisers have been notified of their responsibilities as organisers of an event, these responsibilities vary from temporary signage to cleansing to securing emergency service and residential vehicular access." This is a list of all the Street Parties currently registered:- One.Network It is worth adding that if you are organising a small street party, find out what information your council needs to know. You can get more information from:- https://www.Gov.UK/apply-hold-street-party for more information In the case of the national events such as:- VE Day celebrations, Liverpool Council won't charge for the road closure notice or the barriers which manage traffic.
