Two‑Minute Silence
Friday 15th August 2025 at 1:00 pm
There will be a two‑minute silence held at 12:00 BST (13:00 CEST) to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
The moment of Remembrance will mark the start of the RBL’s National Commemorative Event, hosted in partnership with the UK Government at the National Memorial Arboretum, to honour the 80th anniversary of VJ Day.
Featuring 400 members of the Armed Forces, the commemoration will pay tribute to all those who fought and died during the Second World War in the Far East, and will include music from military bands, as well as a flypast from the Red Arrows and historic aircraft from The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
The event will be broadcast live on BBC One from midday. Whilst access to the event area at the Arboretum will be by ticket only, members of the public will be able to view the commemoration on a large screen located elsewhere within the Arboretum grounds.
