Denbighshire County Council invites you to a concert to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
The concert will take place on Thursday, 8 May at St Thomas' Church, Rhyl starting at 7pm.
The event will bring together music and readings for an evening of reflection and remembrance.

As we commemorate the end of World War II in Europe on 8 May 1945, this concert will pay tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom. A line up of artists from local choirs, bands and individuals will be taking part playing music from that era.
In addition to the music, the evening will feature inspiring readings. The concert aims to not only celebrate the victories of the past but also serve as a reminder of the values of unity and peace.

Councillor Peter Scott, Chairman of Denbighshire County Council, said: "We are pleased to invite everyone to join us for this very special evening.
"It is an opportunity to reflect on our shared history, honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and celebrate the enduring spirit of hope and resilience that continues to shape our world today."
The concert is free but during the evening, a collection will be made towards various Armed Forces charities.

Join us for this unforgettable night as we come together as a community to remember and reflect those who gave their lives and those who still protect us today.
