Among the programmes are a speech from Winston Churchill and an address from Queen Elizabeth. However, Kate and Prince William were the first royals to mark the occasion as they posted a message on their Twitter account. The post included a picture that was taken on VE Day, which shows thousands of Britons celebrating as the Second World War was ended.
British Royal Family News: First Senior Members To Post Message
Kate and William became the first senior royals to post a message during the VE Day celebrations, as they posted their tweet just after 7 am in the UK. The message was a poignant one as the couple admitted that the day is to celebrate peace, as well as mourn and hope for the future.
The UK celebrate VE Day every year. However, this year is unlike any other due to the lockdown measures that are in place due to the outbreak of the coronavirus. Traditionally, there would be veteran parades and street parties. The latter of which could still happen as long as the strict social-distancing measures are followed.

The government was forced to re-plan the day of events due to the lockdown measures, which means that there will be greater importance on the programmes that are taking place on the television. The royal family be playing a big part in the celebrations. Prince Charles will open the proceedings as he leads the country into a two-minute silence from his Birkhall estate.
Camilla will be joining Prince Charles for the touching moment, before Prince Charles returns later in the day to read a passage from King George’s diary from VE Day. There will be many videos throughout the day of the royal family talking to veterans that fought during the war. These would typically take place in person, but due to the lockdown measures they have been recorded over video chat. The biggest event of the day will take place at 9 am, as the Queen will address the nation with a personal message. For any other soap opera and entertainment news, please visit Daily Soap Dish.
