Our heroes fought for us.. We will fight for you

Vow to mark 80 years since WW2 came to end | Building a nation to be proud of once again

- ASHLEY COWBURN

AS Britain raised a glass to bring in 2025, Keir Starmer delivered his first New Year message as PM, urging us to remember the Second World War heroes and "do that generation proud".

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the war, and Mr Starmer wants to honour the ordinary people who did extraordinary things to secure our freedom by making Britain a country they could be proud of once again.

He told the Mirror: "2025 will be a year to celebrate our country's history. A chance to come together to commemorate sacrifices made 80 years ago for our way of life today.

"At the core of that sacrifice was ordinary people doing extraordinary things. It was extraordinary bravery that shaped our future and secured our freedom.
