How VE Day is being celebrated differently this year
(CNN) Friday marks 75 years since the end of World War II in Europe. A date that would traditionally have been commemorated with pomp and pageantry, May 8 this year will be celebrated very differently.
The coronavirus pandemic has meant that millions around the world are staying at home, so people have to find new ways of marking Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
Why is this year so important?
As the name suggests, VE Day only marks the end of the conflict in Europe, when Nazi Germany surrendered after almost six years of war.
However, the war against Japan rumbled on until August that year, and is marked by celebrations on August 15 for Victory over Japan (VJ) Day.
VE Day marks the end of a war in which tens of millions of lives were lost and the course of world history changed forever.
However, this year’s celebrations take on a special significance, marking the 75th anniversary of VE Day.

Last Nazi message decoded by Britain revealed to mark VE Day
(CNN) The last recorded Nazi message intercepted and decoded by Britain in World War II has been revealed for the first time to mark the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
The message — released by the UK’s intelligence and security organization Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) — shows the final words broadcast by a German lieutenant just before surrendering to British forces outside his building on Germany’s northern coastal town of Cuxhaven.
On May 7 1945, the lieutenant named “Kunkel” sent colleagues a final farewell message at 7:35 a.m. before closing their communication network “forever.”
