Communities from across Rotherham will be coming together to recognise and celebrate the 80th Anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day throughout May.
From afternoon teas to fun activity days to lighting beacons, community groups and Rotherham Council have arranged a variety of events to recognise the sacrifice made by soldiers, as well as millions of civilians, during World War Two.
VE Day commemorates the end of World War II in Europe when the Nazi forces formally surrendered to the Allies. In the UK, it is celebrated annually on 8 May.
A full list of community events can be found on this dedicated events page.
Residents are also invited to a special commemoration event at Clifton Park Museum on Thursday 8 May, 10am to 11am, where original archival materials from WWII will be on display.
Find out more about this event on the Clifton Park Museum website.
