Earlier in the day, residents are invited to attend the Islington Veterans’ Association’s (IVA) Remembrance Parade at Islington Green.
The event, attended by the Mayor of Islington, councillors, IVA members, and local veterans, will begin with a service at 10.45am and conclude with a wreath-laying ceremony at around 11.20am.
These events are part of a wider programme of commemorative activities being organised across the borough.
VE Day marks the Allied forces’ formal acceptance of Nazi Germany’s surrender in 1945, ending the Second World War in Europe.
Mayor of Islington Cllr Anjna Khurana said: “VE Day is a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and unity shown by people during one of the darkest chapters in our history.
“As we mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe, I encourage everyone to take part in this shared moment of remembrance and celebration.”
