O God of truth and justice, we hold before you those men and women who have died in active service, particularly in the second world war, whose sacrifice brought victory in Europe. As we honor their courage and cherish their memory, may we put our faith in your future, for you are the source of life and hope now and forever. Amen.
The finishing touches are being made in the Abbey ahead of today's #VEDay80 service, which will be attended by Their Majesties The King and Queen, Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princes of Wales and other Members of the @RoyalFamily.#VEDay #VE80 #Victory80 pic.twitter.com/d65dPfQbds
