VE Day 80: tea dance in Lisburn’s Market Square

A celebratory tea dance has been held in Lisburn’s Market Square to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day).

It was part of a wider programme organised by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council (LCCC) honouring the courage and sacrifice of those who served in the Second World War.

Events included a solemn flag raising at Lagan Valley Island and a wreath-laying ceremony at Lisburn War Memorial - all designed to remember, reflect and unite the community in a spirit of peace.
