John Healey has paid tribute to the "courage and sacrifice" of the "greatest generations of Britons" that achieved victory in Europe 80 years ago today.
The defence secretary adds, "it's a day to celebrate, but it's also a day to reinforce the determination to try and secure the peace again that they fought so hard to achieve".
