Buckingham Palace has announced that Their Majesties The King and Queen will appear on the iconic balcony alongside members of the royal family on May the 5th, as part of events marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day — the momentous occasion which brought an end to the Second World War on the continent.**The royals will be joined by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and veterans of the conflict to observe a military procession and a flypast over The Mall, launching four days of commemorative events across the United Kingdom.**
It will be the first gathering on the famous Buckingham Palace balcony since June 2024, when the King and Queen were accompanied by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — during Trooping the Colour, the annual birthday celebration of the Sovereign.
