Prisoners and staff at HMP Northumberland marked the 80th Anniversary of VE Day with a poignant memorial service.
A fantastic concert was held to remember the sacrifices, and successes, of the Allied victory in Europe 80 years ago.
Research shows that while the public remains supportive of the Armed Forces, awareness of the meaning of VE Day continues to decline.
The new VALOUR programme is a national funding project to provide assistance to veterans.
