A statement from the Office of The Governor follows below:

VE day is an opportunity to pause and remember those who gave so much during the  Second World War. It is all the more poignant in Gibraltar, given that every single person on  the Rock was directly involved, either through combat, the war effort, bombardment or  evacuation. The Gibraltarian community was directly impacted for so many years after the  War ended by the slow return of evacuees, and we feel the echoes of that today. 

His Excellency The Governor joins the Government and the people of Gibraltar in thanking  those who made such great sacrifices.
