A THANKSGIVING service is being held to commemorate the 60th anniversary of VE Day.
A parade will assemble in Mersey Road, Runcorn, at 10.45am on Sunday, May 8, and process into Parish Church.
"The end of the war is a very special day," said veteran Joe Darlington, president of Runcorn & Weston Royal British Legion. "Most of the veterans won't see another 60 years. It would be nice to have a special celebration."
All are welcome to join the Mayor of Halton, Cllr Pat Tyrrell, ex-service men and women for this historic occasion.
Veterans share their memories with illustrated slides during the service.
A buffet will be served afterwards in the hall.
