Fishguard marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day
THE TOWN of Fishguard marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day with a series of poignant events honouring those who served in the Second World War. As night fell on Thursday, May 8, a beacon was lit high above the coastline, casting its glow across the sea as a symbol of peace and remembrance. Organised with the support of the Royal British Legion's Fishguard and Goodwick Branch, the ceremony featured the branch standard proudly displayed beside the flaming beacon, which bore the inscription 'British Gas' and 'Prydain' (Wales/Britain in Welsh). Earlier in the day, local dignitaries, veterans, schoolchildren and residents gathered at Fishguard town centre and later at a memorial site for a formal wreath-laying ceremony. Among those in attendance were the town's mayor, representatives of the armed forces, and members of the clergy. Several red poppy wreaths were laid, and a respectful silence was observed as the community reflected on the sacrifices made during the war. A second gathering at the memorial brought together representatives of the Royal British Legion, town council, sea cadets, and civic leaders, who stood together in a show of solidarity. Hymns and prayers were shared as the flag was raised in memory of the fallen. VE Day 80 marks eight decades since the end of conflict in Europe during World War Two, and the events in Fishguard formed part of a nationwide tribute to the bravery, resilience and sacrifice of a generation.
