麻豆官网首页入口 One will step back in time to the 1940s to bring audiences a unique night of entertainment for the whole family - broadcasting live from a specially designed stage on the world famous Horse Guards’ Parade. Seventy years since the end of the Second World War in Europe, we’ll be celebrating one of the most significant moments in modern British history with a spectacular party of music and entertainment to echo the sentiment of that joyous day in history: the day when our grandparents danced in the Mall and jumped in the fountains at Trafalgar Square – and The Queen and her sister escaped from Buckingham Palace to join the celebrations – and there’s just as much to be thankful for 70 years on! As well as VE Day itself the concert is also going to reflect aspects of war life including life at home as well as life as a member of one of the services.
