In his latest video column Greg Stafford, MP for Farnham and Bordon, discusses why we should reflect and give thanks as the nation marks VE Day. On May 8, 1945, after six long years of fear, hardship and sacrifice, the Second World War in Europe came to an end. It was a moment of immense relief and pride for Britain and her allies, and it remains a powerful reminder of the courage, unity and resilience that defined an extraordinary generation.
