On Friday 8 May, the world will come together to commemorate VE Day, the formal end of the Second World War in Europe.
VE Day saw massive celebrations around the world on 8 May 1945 as Nazi Germany formally surrendered to Allied forces, bringing an end to the conflict in Europe.
To mark this important anniversary, we have created a range of VE Day commemorative products, offering thoughtful ways to remember and reflect. Each item has been designed to honour the legacy of VE Day while celebrating the values of service and sacrifice.
Many of the products are designed in-house exclusively for the RAF Association and aren’t available anywhere else.
Pin badges
Our VE Day pin badges offer a meaningful way to commemorate VE Day and pay tribute to all those who fought in the Second World War. Available in a variety of designs, each features the Union Jack in bold shades of red, white and blue.
