Today is the 81st anniversary of VE Day. Victory in Europe Day celebrates the formal acceptance by the allies of WW2 of Germany's surrender of its armed forces. After six years of conflict Germany officially surrendered and the conflict in Europe was over; a momentous day for all who witnessed it. It would be a further four months before Japan surrendered, signalling the end of the war

Happy 100th Birthday, Sir David Attenborough. You once said, "No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced." Thank you for encouraging us all to experience the world around us and, in doing so, inspiring us to protect it. Your wisdom has touched so many generations
