Beacons to be lit across South East for VE Day
Beacons are set to be lit in Surrey, Sussex and Kent
Beacons are set to be lit across south-east England to mark Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
Villages, towns and cities in Sussex, Surrey and Kent will mark the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender to the Allies in World War Two.
A fisherman will light a beacon at the Peace Statue in Brighton and Hove in a ceremony bringing together the city's cadet forces, uniformed services and veterans for a short service.
Another beacon is set to be lit at an event in Crawley's Tilgate Park, which the town's mayor Sharmila Sivarajah called an "opportunity to remember and honour our heroes".

Woodland Trust report calls for action to save woodland wildlife
Urgent action must be taken to avoid a loss of wildlife due to the "plummeting" condition of the UK's woodlands, according to a new report, published by the Woodland Trust on Tuesday, found that the quality of woodland is on the decline, despite a slight increase in tree covers 24% of Surrey, making it the most wooded county in Bunker, director of conservation and external affairs at the trust, said: "We are calling on the government and others to invest in the management of our woodlands." She said investing in woodland management would mean wildlife could experience the benefits "of these precious ecosystems".Woodlands are becoming less effective as habitats for wildlife because they lack complexity, such as having enough trees of differing ages, states and sizes. 'Alarming' drop in biodiversity Just one in every 50 native woodlands have more than one veteran tree per 200,000 square metres - the same area of about 28 football is these veteran trees that are especially valuable to wildlife because of their damage and decay features, which provide food and habitat."Alarmingly, many British woodlands have very few, if any, ancient and veteran trees left," said Ms Bunker."The nation's once rich, complex woodlands have become simpler and less biodiverse over time."The number of woodland butterflies declined by 47% between 1990 and 2022 and dormice by 70% between 2000 and 1975, the number of woodland birds has dropped by 37% and the variety of plants has reduced by 22%.One problem affecting trees is pests - and there are now 121 different species which are attacking native trees, according to the report predicts that climate change will allow these, and potentially other pest species, to estimated £919.9m is spent each year in the UK on managing only six pests, Ms Bunker trust said it wants "sensitive management" of UK woodlands to make them more resilient to an escalating suite of threats and unlock their ability to adapt to climate change.

Mystery of UK shipwreck is solved 140 years after bodies of crew who used mattresses to plug holes in vessel washed up
Almost everyone onboard was killed. 'NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK' Mystery of UK shipwreck is solved 140 years after bodies of crew who used mattresses to plug holes in vessel washed up Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SHIPWRECK mystery has been solved after divers uncovered a vessel which sunk nearly 140 years ago. Crew on board the SS Nantes made desperate attempts to plug the ship's holes with mattresses when it sunk in 1888. 7 The ship sank in 1888 Credit: Jam Press/Rick Ayrton 7 Divers at the wreck of the SS Nantes Credit: Jam Press/Rick Ayrton The wreckage of the SS Nantes, has been discovered, having sunk 137 years ago - killing almost everyone onboard. The boat tragically collided with a German sailing vessel, the Theodor Ruger, in November 1888, as reported by NeedToKnow. Only two people survived, with two people jumping to safety on the Ruger, and one person who stayed on the Nantes trying to keep it afloat. The Nantes sank approximately ten hours after the collision, this took place off the coast of Plymouth, in the early hours of the morning. Diver Dominic Robinson discovered the wreckage of the SS Nantes last week, 246 feet below sea level. The 50-year-old former Army Officer found a plate with the Cunard Steamship Company logo, belonging to the forgotten vessel. This enabled him to work out that the wreck he had found was that of the SS Nantes. Dominic and his crew then carefully examined the site of the wreck, and discovered old crockery which was key in identifying the wreck. He said: 'The Nantes was built in 1874, in Glasgow, and very sadly lasted a mere 14 years before it was sunk,' said Dominic. 'It was on a passage from Liverpool to La Havre, when it was sunk in France carrying cargo of coal. Shipwreck explorers find iconic rare CAR while scouring sunken WW2 aircraft carrier - and can even read unique reg plate 'It's quite a sad story.' After the ship went down, it became lost until Dominic and his team discovered it. Dominic, who has been an underwater explorer for around 35 years, first caught wind of the unidentified shipwreck from the UK Hydrographic Office. Maritime Historian Dr Harry Bennett, who works at the institute, explained why the wreck has taken well over a century to find: "Obviously you're dealing in a period with no satellite navigation. "While the crew tried to save the ship it drifted for several hours, before it finally made its way to the bottom, sadly with many of its crewmen on board". Dominic added: "The wreck was lost until a local dive team identified it in 2024. 'We got the size of the wreck from the information on the UK Hydrographic Office. 'We knew the boat is about 78 or 79 metres long. 'We also knew that there was a Cunard plate from it - which was basically what we're looking for. 'So what you do is you try to find a list of all the Cunard ships that were sunk. 'You then try and narrow them down to, to a relatively small one, and an old one. 'We obviously know where it sank, so if you can find information about the sinking and the wreck that aligns all those things up, then it's fairly straightforward to identify it.' The Cunard plate which Dominic found was crucial in the ship's identification. He said: 'Even though the wreck had been dived before, it was never identified and this small piece of broken plate allowed us to do exactly that. 'The more eagle eyed amongst you may already have noticed the logo from the famous Cunard shipping line. 'And not surprisingly, this is what gave us the most significant clue.' 7 A plate with the Cunard Steamship Company logo that was discovered on the wreck Credit: Jam Press/Rick Ayrton 7 Dominic Robinson is an experienced diver Credit: Jam Press/Rick Ayrton 7 The moment a plate with the Cunard Steamship Company logo was discovered on the wreck Credit: Jam Press/Rick Ayrton 7 Dominic went with a full boat crew and dive team Credit: Jam Press/Rick Ayrton
