VE Day - Thursday 8th May 2025

The Sleaford and District Branch of The Royal British Legion will lead the celebrations of VE Day at the War Memorial on Sleaford Market Square on 8th May with the following events:

9.00am - Proclamation read by the Sleaford Town Crier. This Proclamation will be read out simultaneously by Town Criers across the Nation. Wreaths will then be laid on the War Memorial.

6.30pm - The St Denys' Church bells will be rung and a short Service will be conducted by Reverend Philip Johnson.

9.30pm - Lamps of Peace. This event is to replicate what is happening across the Nation, where as many people as possible are asked to bring a torch or lamp, not real flame, to show their support for peace. The town does not have a beacon, but beacons will be lit at the same time across the nation.Sleaford Town Council is proud to support The Royal British Legion.
