Evocative images of Britons celebrating victory over Nazi Germany have reemerged in the leadup up to 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. 

As the country reveled in triumph on May 8, 1945, the streets of London were packed with overjoyed Britons weary from six years of war with the Axis powers in Europe. 

Crowds gathered outside the gates of Buckingham Palace as the King and Queen appeared on the palace balcony, along with Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. 

Elated Britons were pictured celebrating in Trafalgar Square as a message on Nelson's Column read: 'Victory over Germany, 1945... Give thanks by saving'.

Less than a year before, tour hà giang thousands of soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944, D-Day. 

Young men in military uniform joined young women arm-in-arm as they danced and sang down Fleet Street, with their jubilant countrymen waving union flags in triumphant celebration. 

Prince Minister Winston Churchill announced the end of the War in Europe from Downing Street, also taking the time to remind the country war was still ongoing in the Pacific.

He said: 'We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing, but let us not forget for a moment the toils and tour hà giang efforts that lie ahead'. 

Coronavirus-hit Britons in 2020 will still be celebrating victory over the Axis - but the streets of London will likely be far less jubilant by comparison as the country endures lockdown as we fight the pandemic, with Churchill's message of remaining vigilant remaining seemingly ever-relevant.
