It was a poignant way to remember the sacrifices that finally led to the celebration of VE Day on 8 May 1945.

We describe World War II here - and a few of the many gallant men and women who won the war.

Join the CIRCLE OF FRIENDS HERE

The best of the Brits produced thousands of indispensable inventions, developed wildly popular sports, designed romantic houses and gardens, created astonishing literary masterpieces, lived with style and humour, tackled dangerous missions with daring and ingenuity, and fought with indomitable courage to establish and protect the free world. We aim to describe their superb achievements and extraordinary lives. We celebrate creativity and common sense, fair play and compassion, bravery and self-discipline, rational thought, freedom, faith, and wit.
