My Mum and Dad met on VE day 1945. She was 18 and he was 23 and in the Navy. They told me that London was going absolutely crazy......people were singing and dancing in the streets and kissing and cuddling each other. London took such a terrible pounding during the war, especially the East End (where I was born). My Mum told me that one night she was supposed to attend a birthday party in the local pub, but her Mum (my Nan), begged her not to go......she had a bad feeling about it. So my Mum didn't go to the party, and that night the pub took a direct hit from a German Bomber. Everyone was killed, and my Mum would have been one of them if she had not listened to my Nan......strange to think that I wouldn't be here today if my Nan had not had that weird premonition. My parents are dead now, but I believe that they were the from greatest generation, so brave and stoic.
wow
Incredible
Absolute bollocks
@Lavender Raine cause hes clearly made it up
@Lavender Raine didnt look at her name thats not the point the point is shes talking rubbish
The fact that everyone was so happy makes me realize just how much everyone suffered which brought tears to my eyes
JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE
What does ???
JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE why are you using all caps...
JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE why u using caps loads and just wanted to tell you it doesn't make a mockery of the EU because it wasn't a thing then actually it was set up because of the war and guess what there hasn't been a 3rd world war since so....
JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE wow calm down or should I say WOW CALM DOWN
JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE Have you ever tried...Going the fuck away.
The chants of "we want The King" and then the roar when the crowd sees Sir Winston Churchill sends shivers.
@thomas Prior mmmmmmmmm no.
Ryan is that real you
Winston Churchill was devil. Like Hitler and Stalin, he also caused many people( I mean millions of people) to die.
@@vickysharma9403 Churchill had many failings, that’s for sure. But if you can liken him to Hitler and Stalin, you clearly don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.
@@Ryan-gf4jp Actually he didn't had failings which you stated, he had crimes actually.
The end of the Second World War must have been one of the happiest days in human history. I get goosebumps just imagining what it must have felt like to know that the fighting was finally over.
I mean yeah they enjoyed freedom from war but imagine how the germans who wanted to be free felt in the cold war.
@@ithertzwhenip3656 west Germany was definitely better off than the east
the fighting and hostilities continued long after the official war ended.
Pockets of Nazi rebellion and Japanese holdout squadrons continued to fight perceived enemies in the following 5-10 years.
A single Japanese private from the days of Imperial Japan, Hiroo Onoda, *continued to engage in combat against until as late as 1974* because he refused to acknowledge that the emperor would ever have surrendered, and that leaflets and newspapers of the time must be propaganda by the Allies.
A Japanese man that discovered him later had to fly all the way back to Japan, prove to the Japanese government of his existence, and then find his superior officer (who was now working as a bookkeeper) to fly him all the way out to the Philippines to order him to surrender.
@@hobomike6935 "Pockets of Nazi rebellion" - what are you refering to?
because unlike I'm severely mistaken, there wasn't a significant "nazi rebellion" after the end of the war at the 8th/9th of May.
@@xxxaragon that is true: no significant German Resistance occurred after the fall of Germany in 1945.
although not necessarily German Nazis, fascists and nazi sympathizers rebelled against government order and continued to promote ideology well into the 60s, Unsanctioned. Among the most significant of these neo-fascist groups was the MSE, the MSI, and the Tambroni Cabinet.
Although “nazis” and “fascist” groups still exist, they are largely uncoordinated and extremely divided on who is and isn’t part of their collective and who can actually be described as a fascist.
Thank you to all those men & women’s sacrifices, I am free today
@Elberiver11 germany did not offer peace. they offered submission. and they offered six million lives, at best, death. so keep your ignorant mouth closed.
@@ashleyhorne3502 IF actually think the British EMPIRE was any better then you are deluded, seriously do people actually believe the Irish only had potatoes to eat in the 1840's. Ireland is and was one of the most fertile places on the planet.

Bad luck fascists. You lost!
Are you a Jew?
I can only imagine how many people just got DRUNK that night. I know I would.
Oh absolutely
Many
How many babbies were born in November 1945?

@Sahil Ali ik
I remember VE Day Anniversary last month when me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE finally appeared on his palace balcony. My favourite crowd literally cried, I have never seen anything like it
And the Queen is still alive to this day damn
If you take care of your health good u live longer maybe
@Ka Chun Chu The Queen Mom still lived till 2002 :)

Ha! Goo goo.
I feel similarly.
I'm German and I had tears in my eyes too. (I love the UK and British royal family. England probably would feel like home to me if I'd ever move there.) I'm really glad that we lost the war back then. I can't even imagine how horrific live would be these day if it would have been different...

@@Shrasha Thank you, you made my day
@Lexine Bate It's mostly younger people who did not experience the cold war, and have little attachment to WW2. And you more than returned the favor with sending us the best rock bands (by far)in the world in the 60s and 70s.

Great footage of a momentous event.
True
@Elberiver11 I know I'm late, but how exactly did Winston Churchill start WW2. He wasn't even Prime Minister when it started.
Somewhere out there were my grandparents together with their three year old son (my father) and his older brother. Their survival means that my sister and I were to eventually come into this world. What joyous relief this moment must have been.
it was 75 years ago today when this happened 💖🇬🇧
76 years now.
Upcoming and soon will be the 77th year
It will be 78 years this May 8th, Woody.EXE and I will be delivering our first address to Wales as well as paying tribute to the war. Mummy has agreed to help me with the celebrations

75 years ago today! Thank you to all the soldiers whoses sacrifices made that day possible. To all men and women and the allies. To the leaders back then who really showed leadership. Thank you all!!!
Now today is 78 years
Watching this as an American gave me goosebumps I love the relationship between Anglo & American people and how as King George V said in the first world war (roughly) The two English speaking peoples have teamed up to save the world. And then again 20years later we did with his son King George VI.
75 years today VE Day!
🇬🇧🇺🇸💪❤️
Lexine Bate that’s refreshing to hear, it’s unfortunate the number of Brits I’ve seen trying to discredit America at any cost and downplaying our efforts and sacrifice

Hopefully our peoples and allies never have to attempt anything similar ever again 🤞🏻
What a day. The elders of my family all from London speak of it like it was the most amazing time - congas, the Lambeth walk and the roar of 'we want the King!' . In myth King Arthur pulled the sword from the stone , here the entire people achieved no less a feat. Advance Britannia and the cause of Freedom ! Note the date!
It almost made me cry when everyone sang and danced together, the happiness and joy. I wish I can see joy like this in my lifetime, the unity and Patriotism, all differences put aside.
You can just see the happiness in some of the soldiers eyes being back home.
Everyone cried on VE Day recently when me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE finally appeared on his palace balcony and we all celebrated VE Day 78 the way I wanted. I have never seen anything like it
you don't want to see this... this was the result of a horrible conclusion to a war
@@RichCwm true
Respect to the Allies from Republic of Korea
1945 all over the world. And from 1950 to 1953, you fought for our freedom in Korea.
Thank you
Thanks to the British people for their military assistance during the Second World War, the Soviet people will always remember and appreciate it. Although politicians now continue to divide our nations, the common Briton and the common Russian will always treat each other with respect. Happy Victory Day from Russia!!!

We know you are forced into silence. The actions of one man are driving us apart. One day Russia will be free and we will have peace ❤

My great uncle a Jew fought the Nazis in North Africa and Sicily. The Mafia were very kind and gave weapons to help and food.
My grand-grand father was a man of honor here in Sicily and before he died he told me how he fought the nazi with the Help of England and US military
i did to what was/is his name i might be fond of him since i fought in both the world wars and i still live today also i have a knighthood
@@walterwaco9798 Yes the Italian Mafia hated Hitler and Mussolini, they knew the atrocities of the Germans towards Poles, Slovaks, Jews, and Russians.
@@deltaboy767 Yes the mafia were very helpful towards the allies. Many died under Hitlers terror Slavs Jews Roma all so sad and horrible:(
It's nearly the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
It's the 76th today.
I remember having a huge meltdown saying “Bring those who died in the war back, Mummy!” She knew I was so confused and emotional; Mummy had stayed in my room sitting on my bed whilst I slept so I don’t wake up stressing over it all. 3 years on; what the hell was I doing?!
It's kinda weird seeing Queen Elizabeth (or as she was known then as Princess Elizabeth) in 1945...
@@augmentedkeys5971 Yeah, I agree with that, but she out-lived most of those people in that film!
@@gerry9011 not just most people in that film, the VAST MAJORITY of people in that film!
Technically she was the Duchess of York until Edward VIII abdication, then simply the Princess Elizabeth, and after 1947 until 1952 she was the Duchess of Edinburgh.
Gerry why is it?🤷🏼♀️
margaret looks like 15 and the queen maybe just reaching adulthood?
Happy 75th VE-Day Everyone!
It’s on Friday
its VE Day on Friday
Man nitro Bruh did people fight for freedom or for a globalist elite of which Germany got in the way of? Food for thought. All I’m saying is Britons have been consistently and rapidly loosing their country since WW2
My grandfather was 5 years old when they celebrated VE day, he lived in Swansea ad he would go outside and see the long tables they had while people where eating cakes and all sorts of sweets, he whould then go on my great grandfathers shoulders and walk down to the park.
Cool dose he remember
@@marf796 my grandfather still remembers it all
The sad part is the soldiers that died did not get to expierience this celebration and victory
For those who wonder, the young woman most left (the one in the Uniform) of King George is Elizabeth, the current Queen :)
Damn, she still alive!? That's awesome
Yeah and banging hot!
Yes Elizabeth trained as a truck mechanic for the war.
About that….
it's so weird how you can't watch a video properly anymore because every time you see a large crowd you think of corona
If Corona existed then , people would have said fuxk it cuz it’s the end of fucking WW2!!!
Why do you think about that beer, it taste like cat piss

My Grandad fought for Britain 🇬🇧 My Grandad was mild mannered and scared of spiders. I have no idea how he got through the war, but he did. He fought evil, as many young and older men did.
Happy VE Day to everyone across the world, no matter where your from or who you are
these celebrations 75 years ago may be different from today as the we all stand together against another enemy, but that to will not stop us from celebrating, and more importantly remembering, as nothing ever should, and nothing ever will, we will remember them
Forever
True
I’m 3 years late but thank you so much for that. It was the best anniversary ever and I can remember inviting my entire street to my house for the 75th anniversary celebrations and we didn’t care about rules. We still followed social distancing obviously; i can remember dancing on the table and I fell off - it tremendously hurt but that didn’t stop my celebrations.
75 years after 🥳🇬🇧

I remember the crowds outside Woody.EXE’s palace last month cheering as me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE finally appeared on the palace balcony at midnight on May 8th, 2023. The crowds were just like this and everyone went nuts when the 5 of us appeared on the balcony a few times throughout the Anniversary
WE ARE ENGLAND HEAR US ROAR
Eat crap germamy
Alfie H ILL Hsaliill then but not now
K.F.C king 123 yeah
You've roared in the past. Today you whistle from the last hole.
We are the UK you mean.
My dad was just telling me today as we had our street party that he was six years old and on his dad's shoulders as they walked down the Mall along with thousands of others that day. They are in those crowds somewhere! 75 years ago this very day - incredible!
I had a party as well, everyone was waiting for me, my sister, Mummy and my 2009 Woody to come out; that was my first time we had crowds in St Julian’s my hometown. We didn’t care about lockdowns
Such powerful emotions i feel for this moment in history as a Canadian and Ally.
A truly welcome ally, from the UK.
Canadian flag flies high in my town down grand Avenue at the end of land across from france, thank you all.
I can only imagine what it must have felt like... Mothers and Fathers crying knowing that their sons would come home... Those that lost sons probably cried in knowing that no more would die... Here in the States, some people ran to church to give thanks. Some cried while walking down the street. And of course some partied like never before and never after...
And just 7 Years Later Elizabeth would be the Queen .... And she is to this Day!
Her dad died when she was so young
She went out and celebrated with the crowds. Imagine that today
@Hayden’s Games She would have been then but there were no worries regarding it then. Just won the war, millions happy people around her.
@Hayden’s Games Maybe after winning a world war the equivalent so Harry or William would be celebrating with the public. Although saying that, in todays world, there would have been German sleeper agents due to so many living in the UK.
@Hayden’s Games True. The lack of TVs probably meant they were harder to identify. Japan has developed into one of the great nations of the world.
When even the brits are showing emotions you know its some real shit
Happy V.E day everyone!!!!!!!!
U to :)
I was here after watching 'A Royal Night Out' 😭👍
Hi.. from Indonesia 🖐

My mother remembered VE day. She was a teenager in a village in Devon called Copplestone....she was blown away by lights being on...she'd never seen anything like it. The villagers went potty. Partied until dawn
My Nana remembered VE Day when she was ill; before she died 7 years ago, she gave me all the VE Day stuff she had and I have it with me today
What a wonderful, joyous day that must have been!! But the scars left on humanity by the disgusting Nazis will never heal. Thank you for this amazing video!
People suffered for 6 years and nowadays we can't even wear a mask for 6 months
I celebrated when covid was announced over; the crowds at Woody.EXE’s palace was unbelievable. Then Woody.EXE made a victory from covid speech that Thursday and it made us all cry. He is a great king and I’m so honoured to be his Queen
What a wonderful thing to come all together to rejoice. Such a joining of hearts and minds.
On VE Day recently; everyone in Wales got so hyped when me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE finally appeared on his palace balcony at midnight to start the celebrations. Everyone was so happy I was well enough I was able to make the balcony appearance. I’m glad I survived to see this
Wonderful images. Such comaradera. Thank you.
Here in the year 2020 we now know the heartfelt joy that they obviously felt.
Our greatest generation would be ashamed of us if they could see how we have thrown away the legacy they left to us. If you are also angry about the state of modem Britain I beseech you to refer via RUclips or Twitter to Patriotic Alternative, The Iconoclast, Way of The World and Daughter of Albion among many others. You are not alone. Advance Britannia!
#VEday
Loving the spirit ppl are showing when we can’t see each over ✔️
And as the Lord G-d looked down on man's desecration of humanity, the animal kingdom and His earth, He must have reserved some relief and gratitude that He had created British democracy, the British fighting spirit and a man called Sir Winston Churchill.
HAPPY VE DAY FOR TOMMOROW EVERYONE! UK! UK! GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THE QUEEN
I’m looking forward to VE Day 78 as Woody.EXE makes his first address to Wales as monarch. Hell do so incredibly well I just know it already. Then me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE will celebrate with mass crowds outside my house where all the celebrations happen. The crowds always go nuts when all 5 of us come outside to greet them every few months. We can’t wait for this day
75yrs on, we salute you all, the best of us...🤞
what a time to be alive
King George VI was never even supposed to be King but he became one of Britain’s Greatest King’s😌.
He sure did and now Woody.EXE (Toy Story) can be the greatest king of Wales since George IV. I feel honoured to be his Queen and we will be crowned on my 21st birthday

My great grandfather (an American) was still a teenager when the war ended. He was born in 1928. He died in 2015.
I asked the gpt chat question: "Which country made the greatest contribution to victory in World War II?" and received the answer: “The Soviet Union made the greatest contribution to the victory in World War II. It was the main ally in the fight against Nazi Germany and suffered enormous sacrifices during the war. The Soviet Union played a decisive role in the battles on the Eastern Front and represented a powerful force capable of change the course of the war in favor of the allied forces."
Unfortunately, history is being rewritten, which is silent about the role of the USSR in World War II.
You look at this historic moment and think how long ago it was. Then you remember our immortal Queen Liz is still alive.
Did you have to curse it
this literally gives me chills
What a glorious victory for the British people. Praise Almighty God

As an Argentine, I'm always thankful to Britain because they've changed the whole world for the better with their 17th and 18th revolutions. Bringing economic development, free trade, democracy and freedom values who were born in the British Enlightenment, the abolition of slavery, sciences and medical development and they stopped the nazy tyrany.
Here in Latin America, our modern nations were born with British help (supporting the wars against Spain) and we made constitutions based on the Enlightenment. As it is for Argentina, our state became economically strong during 1880-1930 thanks our commerce with Britain and British investments in our land. Our GDP ranked in top 5 for several years. That economical boom brought a mass of immigration from Europe and the make of the middle class.

Its makes me feel so happy to see everyone so so happy now that the war was over . It nust have be so scary to be there in the Blitz but mostly fighting for it !!!!!!!!!
Sobering to think that everyone in this video has endured some terrible hardship and grief... lets hope we never experience anything like this again.
From videos and photos I’ve seen of the King before the war, it’s clear that it really aged him. What a time!
