The streets were full of smiles, cheers, and people raising a glass together.

That’s the spirit of VE Day — remembering the moment peace was finally celebrated.

Today at The Linford, we’re raising a glass to those who served and sacrificed. As a thank you, all past and present armed forces members are invited in for a free pint or glass of w**e.

To our members, If you served, or know someone who has, come and join us today — and feel free to tag them below so we can celebrate together.

It’s also our Golden Happy Hours today from 4–7pm, so there’s even more reason to join us. See you at the bar as we raise a glass to mark the occasion.

81 Years ago today, the Nation Breathed a sigh of relief- for in Europe, the Second World War was over. VE Day.
For many Leicestershire Service Personnel who were serving further afield, they would have to hold on until VJ Day, when it was the ultimate close to the War.
We Remember them ALL. Every single person who endured those horrific years. True Grit. Humbling & Inspirational.
For our tomorrow, they gave their today.
