VE Day national two-minute silence

Thursday 8 May 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, when the Second World War ended for many.

A national two-minute national silence will be held at 12 noon, Thursday 8 May, to remember and thank those who fought for our freedom.

The silence will be marked by Fife Council. You are invited to take part, if you wish, within your own workplace or home to pay tribute to those who served.
