The 94-year-old monarch and the royal family will play their part in the government's revised plans to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War
April 29, 2020 - 07:40 BST Danielle Stacey The Queen will send a special message to the nation to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day on Friday 8 May. The broadcast will be poignant for the 94-year-old monarch for many reasons – it will be televised at 9pm on BBC One, the exact moment her father, King George VI, gave a radio address in 1945.
The Queen's address is included as part of the UK government's revised plans to commemorate the VE Day anniversary. A veteran procession was meant to take place, but the original plans had to be adjusted due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. The Queen and her family were also expected to mark the occasion publicly as they did for the 70th anniversary of VE Day in 2015, with a fly-past and a thanksgiving service.
