VE Day – 8th May 2026 & VJ Day – 15th August 2025 | A Historic Moment of Celebration
As we move through 2026, we will once again mark a profoundly significant milestone in our shared history — the 81st Anniversary of VE Day (Victory In Europe Day) on 8th May 2026 and VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day) on 15th August 2026. This momentous occasion commemorates the end of the Second World War and the final victories that brought peace to the world.
On these days, the nation will come together in remembrance and celebration. Events will be held across the country to honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all those who served and lived through the war in Europe and the Pacific. From community gatherings and remembrance services to beacon lightings and tributes, the day will be a powerful reflection of national gratitude and unity.
To help you mark this historic anniversary, AWARD have compiled this collection of VE & VJ Day commemorative items, thoughtfully designed to support meaningful participation in the day’s tributes and celebrations.
Let us come together to remember, reflect, and honour — on this, the 81st Anniversary.
Orders for the VE & VJ Day clothing items are embroidered to order. Orders placed from the 1st of May onwards are not likely to arrive before the 8th of May for the VE Day celebrations. You can still order the items as they can be used for VJ Day.
