Alderney to mark the 80th Anniversary of German surrender
On 16 May 2025, Alderney will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the German surrender on the island with a special two-part programme presented by The Henry Euler Memorial Trust.
Highlights include visits by the restored H.M.S. Medusa (pictured) and living history group Force 135. A commemorative service will be held at Braye Harbour where Brigadier A.E. Snow and Force 135 came ashore in 1945, a week after VE Day. New information boards on Braye Street will share the significance of this historic day, which marked the end of occupation but not yet the return of Alderney’s evacuated residents.
Programme:
- 11.00am Service of Commemoration (Braye Harbour)
- 2.00pm Parade/Display and Raising of the Flag Free public access (St. Anne/Connaught Square)
