Today marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day, when the Allies of World War II accepted Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender in 1945.
It was an honour to join the Royal British Legion, local councillors and residents to commemorate this important and historic day at the Ruislip War Memorial.
Today, not only is it important to celebrate victory and peace, but to also reflect upon the lives lost in the cause of that peace.
Let us remember the generations of those who have served and sacrificed for our country and the service of all those who have come since.
