Plans to mark VE Day in Selsey underway

Preparations are underway in Selsey to mark Victory in Europe Day.

On Thursday, the 8th of May, at 7 pm on East Beach Green, there will be a remembrance service and celebration featuring the RNLI, Coastguard, and a fisherman sail past.

Wartime stories will be told, and the event will culminate in the lighting of Selsey’s beacon, joining other cities, towns, and villages across the UK.

2025 marks the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, which originally took place on 8th of May, 1945. 

VE Day commemorates the official end of World War II in Europe, when Allied forces accepted Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender.

V2 Radio will be covering events in Selsey on the 8th of May 2025.
