LONDON (AP) — Cities from London to Moscow will be awash with parades, flyovers and memorials this week as the world marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day — the day Nazi Germany surrendered to Allied forces.

A national two-minute silence is set to take place on the Isle of Man to mark 80 years since the end of World War Two. The public has been invited to fall silent at midday on Thursday to commemorate the anniversary of VE Day and commemorate those who fought during the war.
