2253...It Was On This Day In 1945

That the world spun back into control.

BBC's website reports that "The Prince of Wales has led veterans in a service marking 65 years since the end of World War II in Europe. The national ceremony at the Cenotaph in London commemorates VE Day - declared on 8 May 1945. The Prince, accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall, laid a wreath ahead of a reception at Horse Guards Parade. The leaders of the three main political parties took time away from negotiating the formation of the new government to attend the ceremony."

Take a minute. Today is the 65th anniversary of VE day, so spare a grateful thought for veterans everywhere.
