Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Extracts of Winston Churchill's VE Day speech have been broadcast to the nation, as part of the commemorations for the 75th anniversary.
Britain's wartime leader spoke about a "brief period of rejoicing" amid "toils and efforts" in the replayed speech.
Earlier, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall led a two-minute silence, and later the Queen will address a nation still in lockdown.
Boris Johnson expressed "eternal" gratitude to the wartime generation.
Victory in Europe Day marks the day in 1945 when Britain and its allies accepted the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany, bringing the war in Europe to an end.This year's celebration is limited as the lockdown prompted by the coronavirus pandemic means there will be no large-scale street parties or parades.
But at 15:00 BST, the same time that Winston Churchill addressed the House of Commons on 8 May 1945, BBC One broadcast his words: "We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing, but let us not forget for a moment the toils and efforts that lie ahead."
The commemorations began with a flypast over London by the Royal Air Force display team the Red Arrows, while RAF Typhoon jets flew over Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast.

And now people ruin his statue after he dragged us through the worst period in our history. They have no idea what this man did for us.
They're too stupid and naive I'm afraid
These traitors should be charged for treason!
@@red_amoguss
100% RACIST BECAUSE HE DID SOME GOOD THAT MAKES IT FINE?
Do you know he starved the Indians to death and stole their resources.
Ali Ditta that’s not racism that’s war. Hard decisions have to be made, much harder than anyone would want to have to make. It’s weighing up loses. How many people would have died if Hitler had won? It would be worse than Mao, hundreds of millions, including many more in India than actually died.
@@red_amoguss and also he created the first idea of a 'master race' which gave dolfy lots of ideas
We will never forget what this generation did for us all. Proud to be a Brit 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Hamdun nazar HOW CAN U SAY THAT your probably a German
@@hamdunnazar5339 Then don't live here
Hamdum is just upset. We all feel hate somewhere.
It was mostly asians that did the fighting why do you think Pakistanis are the largest ethnic minority in the UK! Think about it.. Pakistani's are natural fighters and that's a Fact!
Who else got goosebumps watching this ?
unashamed . . . I did!
Daniel Penny 🤣your joking surely, is that why Churchill starved 1 million people in India to death
I did, absolutely! Really puts it all in perspective. Seeing the b&w videos of the peace signing while Churchill spoke over the radio.
I cried.
Daniel Penny Well maybe then but not now, England has lost its culture, due to massive immigration,I was born in the UK but have a problem with ‘ innit ‘ WTF what does that mean, it’s pidgin English. Speak properly. Glad I don’t live there now
I’m German and I got goosebumps from this video. We are very grateful for your fights against the Nazis. Thank you Great Britain. Hugs from Germany
I love germany love german people👍👍👍👍
Brits and Germans have more in common than most other places in Europe
Thank You So Much. And It's Not Just The UK. The Soviet Union And United States Also Won The War. USSR Pushed To Berlin. And Canada , USA , UK Pushed Into The Country As Well. We Are Still The 3 Super Powers. And I Hope Germany Have Learned Their Lesson Over The Years And Join The Allied Powers When WW3 Comes Around. Against Iran , North Korea , Russia , Syria , Pakistan , Etc. We All Learned That Land Will NOT Give You Happiness. That Attack On Poland In 1939 Was In Fact Devastating. And Your German Leader Or Chancellor Is Amazing. She Is A Great Leader And Leads Germany The Right Way. I Hope There Will Be No More Evil And Furious Leaders Of Germany. And We Will Be The Greatest Friends. We Are All On This World Together And We Need The Same Credit. Have A Good Day, Hugs From Great Britain.
Germany is just as racist now as it was back then, I've been there.

When the Red Arrows do a flyover of his statue in Parliament Square and that war memorial - it's like a one-two punch to the tear-ducts
Not as difficult as spelling the word ‘plane’ it seems
I suppose the symbolism of that footage - overlaid with audio of the victory speech given by the very man in whose honour that statue was made - flew right over you.
Watson Clerk You realise groups like the red arrows use some of the best pilots out there right?

Surrendered indian colony to indians 😂😂😂
@@avtarsingh4355Lord Mountbatten actually gave India back
@@avtarsingh4355if u don't know, then don't say anything 😒
He introduced a raft of social reforms, prepared the navy for ww1, warned against appeasement before anyone else, alerted the country against the communist threat and was crucial to our morale in winning ww2. The greatest ever Briton, may he rest in peace forever.
Funny how britain france and russia couldn't defeat germany in ww1 they needed america
@@arjunghanekar6140 Actually, the war ended not because of a military defeat but because the Royal Navy blockaded Germany from getting food imported which led to the population revolting and the Kaiser abdicating. So yes Germany was defeated irrespective of the US contribution.
@@kincaidwolf5184 but weren't they getting pushed back from France with the help of American troops obviously the blockade helped as well
@@arjunghanekar6140 because British is too busy handling Africa and middle east
@@arjunghanekar6140 Either way, both times America didn't join just because Britain wanted them to... you sound like the Allies asked them to join🤣
WW1, the main reasons why they joined was because of U Boats attacking and sinking merchant and civilian ships, along with a transmission from Germany to Mexico asking them to invade America, I don't see Britain asking for help there??
WW2, well..... Pearl Harbour... Number one main reason why America declared war on Japan was because of that, they only joined the war on Europe because Hitler was that stupid he decided to declare war on them when he shouldn't have..
So tell me, where in any of these scenarios is Britain asking for help??? Enlighten, because both times they joined was due to the opposition committing military aggression towards America, and in order to protect your interests, you have to declare war, which is what they did.
What a man with words, and every word written by himself
I am reading about this remarkable man and I cant keep the book down. Churchill ,walking with destiny by Andrew Roberts.
@Mr Spoon he also knew about the tyrant Hitler and about Russian threats after world war II. Credit where it's due for an imperfect leader
@Mr Spoon because of the famine in India ? Bombing Germany? What evil deeds?
@Mr Spoon hmm conspiracy theories have been around for a long time. In fact some actually believe coronavirus is a hoax. Personally I believe God has true authority over the earth so whatever happens He will always be in control :)
@Mr Spoon I see. For such a confident man who was unafraid of controversy something definitely turned. He faced a lot of criticism in parliament for advocating for Jews during the war, I think something about immigration etc. What's your background (career, studies)?! You seem well versed in history
The British empire empire may not have lasted 1000 years but this truly was our finest hour
Now the children of the British Empire (British Pakistani's) will take over! The slaves will become the Masters and the Masters will become the slaves.. How ironic..
Kenny Ken what a depressing view
@Watson Clerk yeah
@@kennyken4461 so you are saying Pakistan is gonna take over the UK?

I'm so glad Salazar supplied all of the wolfram used by Germany during World War II.

You will allways be Remembered. Churchill
Thank you to all of you that gave their lives. USA. Britain and Russia x thank you
Marc Glover and not forgetting Poland who played a huge part
@@thatsmadcrazy8953 Polish intelligence cracked the engima code which was a key part of the Allied success. The fighters which fled before Poland capitulated also played a huge part in the battle for Britain and the battle of France. Don't disrespect the Poles which gave their lives fighting
@@MidgeCat that ain't true it was British people who cracked the enigma code instead it was broke in 1942
The lead was a guy called Alan turning he was the one who made the machine which could break the codes not Poland the help Poland gave helped but was useless hence why they couldn't break it in 1939
The planes Poland gave didn't really help to win as they were mostly using hurricanes and spitfires
Poland was occupied incredibly quickly and they lost the war I don't know how they can be considered winners when their country got captured and occupied
But Polish people did go to Britain and France it wasn't in high numbers as obviously they had border control
The Polish defence though although they fell quickly it was because they were between 2 strong powers and they didn't go down without a fight
Edit: my opinions over the last 1month have changed massively Poland never stopped fighting in World war Two they wouldn't of agreed to peace if they wasn't forced too even though they agreed to peace and occupation (because they were forced too) they never stopped fighting and I have a lot of respect for the Polish if they weren't inbetween 2 super powers who hated eachother, had a higher population and better war equipment they wouldn't of surrendered I'm not going to delete the comment because it shows how people most of the time only remember the Soviet Union, United Kingdom and the United States war effort
@@louisemitchell3418 since last month I've actually looked in to Polish, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, China etc and I take back some stuff what I said about Poland
I still stand by what I said about the German code as although Poland were the first ones to crack it Alan Turing was the first one to break the improved version and any updates do the code
Poland's defeat was a guarantee they were in the middle of 2 super powers who hated each other
However the Polish never fully surrendered it was the Polish Government which had no choice but to surrender the people never stopped fighting going to allied countries and fighting in Poland
I wouldn't say Poland was a main power in World War Two like the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand etc however if they had better equipment and a higher population they would of been
But you're right it isn't a competition we shouldn't forget the main nations war effort however World War Two was won by the allies not a single nation
Canada france poland are some u forgot about
One of the greatest men this country has ever seen and likely will ever see again. They don't make them like him any more, when the entire parliament wanted to strike a deal of surrender with the Nazis he was the only one who dared fight back, if anyone else had been in charge we'd be under Nazi rule right now. A hero in every sense, we salute you Winston.
yet he striked a deal with a man far worse the hitler could ever hope to be. Joseph Stalin.
not to mention the bengal famine. that was his fault.
Gallipoli too, oof...
we need to recognise bull-headedness as a strength only under certain circumstances
The real greatest men that ever lived were the ones doing the dirty work, the calm headed, intelligent, hard-working sacrificial men who put everything at risk to fight on the frontlines
Well now we have moronic college kids who idolise Stalin, who no doubt will pop up their ungrateful hateful little minds in these comments eventually, so looks like we'd end up in the same situation either way. War is not black and white, you take losses with the win, the British Empire began to be broken up to help subsidise the economic damage the war took on us. Fact is nobody other than him could have guided us to victory in that war because nobody but him wanted to win that war. And I'd rather a famine than be under Nazi rule, consequences of war are real. There's a reason the entire country voted him in unanimously, him and the soldiers who fought for him are the reason we're all alive today.
@@TheWeepingDalek you realise he planned an invasion of ussr right?
Churchill makes me proud to be british🇬🇧
@Jason Craddock bragging idiot who loves TikTok and hates racism cuz its trending what a fool

@Rudi Eva & The Baron. How is Zionism real? When people hear News about the Middle East and everything Else; they Instantly point their Fingers to Israel and America! Why?!?
If you mention anti-Zionism, It's a mask of Anti-Semitisim! The latter being a FRAUD!
As said by Erich von dem Bach-Zewlewsky; a Nazi leader:
"I am the only living witness but I must say the truth. Contrary to the opinion of the National Socialists, that the Jews were a highly organized group, the appalling fact was that they had no organization whatsoever. The mass of the Jewish people were taken complete by surprise. They did not know at all what to do; they had no directives or slogans as to how they should act. This is the greatest lie of anti-Semitism because it gives the lie to that old slogan that the Jews are conspiring to dominate the world and that they are so highly organized. In reality, they had no organization of their own at all, not even an information service. If they had had some sort of organization, these people could have been saved by the millions, but instead, they were taken completely by surprise. Never before has a people gone as unsuspectingly to its disaster. Nothing was prepared. Absolutely nothing."
Heidi Stinton god bless the old Britain 🏴🇬🇧
The amount of disrespect this man gets for saving the world
Absolutely disgraceful. Such a great man being destroyed by leftists. Once more our nations history has been struck and we are being told to apologise for it. Utter filth
My thoughts exactly!

Forever are you forgiven, Finland. We understand your plight with the Russians during the war. UK & Finland forever!
Finland is good country 👌
As an American living in a deeply divided nation lacking in cohesive leadership, this brought tears to my eyes. I am envious of the national pride and unity that underscored British life during WW II and continues today. If America was able to achieve something even close to this, we'd be much better citizens of the world and friends to each other.
Omar 11112, Britain never would of been invaded but theirs no doubt America did their part and did it well
We had phenomenal leadership during WW II, under Roosevelt. Unfortunately, that is no longer true today, and both America and the world are worse because of it. I can remember when I was proud to be an American - and I'm not anymore. It's been a sad loss.
The US is an equally great country but I have to suggest that UK’s unity may be attributable to the fact that its constitutional monarchy allows the country to stay loyal to HM the Queen and what she represents no matter how politics has changed. Sir Winston is HM the Queen’s first PM and BJ the 14th. At the end of the day, the British spirits lie in the cause of freedom and democracy and this is something above party politics.
Well Franklin Roosevelt was truly selfless considering he still led his nation whilst dying from polio, and MLK Junior was the face of the civil rights movement who delivered the famous “I have a dream” speech
Much respect Winston our friend. And bless ALL that lost their lives in the great atrocities in ALL WARS . BRAVE WERE THEY. SO MANY. NO WE SHALL NEVER EVER FORGET THEM. 💟💜🌹✌👏👏👏👏👏👏
I grew up listening to these things, watching on the newsreels at the pictures and so on. I was born a few weeks before VE day. Post war England was MY England. I wish in many ways it was still like that. Not the damage of course but the people all so friendly, pulling together, so close. It's simply not the same anymore as I found out when I went back there in 2014. I never dreamt it could come down to what it has now. We need Churchill back so much.
If you could revive one person, who would it be? Mine would be this man.
microscopic Hornet yes I agree, Winston Churchill was one of the greatest brits of the time but people would tarnish his name

We're a tiny island in the North Atlantic with a small population and next to no natural resources, and there's virtually not a country in the world who we haven't been at war with or invaded and pissed off... and yet the last people to invade us where the Normans a thousand years ago! We destroyed the Spanish Armada, we beat Napoleon, we were the only country who stood against Hitler from the start and remained standing victorious at the end, and we punch well above our weight as one of the most powerful countries on Earth today. Not bad for a tiny island, wouldn't you say?
