Trafalgar Square WW2 Concert to Be Held Next Month
London’s Trafalgar Square will host a rock concert to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.
Organizers say they want to recreate the atmosphere of May 8, 1945, when thousands of people thronged to the square in central London to celebrate the defeat of Nazi Germany.
“Sixty years on from the spontaneous Trafalgar Square celebrations to celebrate peace in Europe, we are going to do it all over again to remember the generation that sacrificed so much to preserve our liberty,” London Mayor Ken Livingstone said Tuesday.
The mayor’s office has joined the BBC and the Royal British Legion, a charity that raises money for British ex-servicemen and women, to stage the free concert on the evening of May 8.
More than 15,000 people are expected to attend the concert, dubbed “A Party to Remember.” Jazz singer Katie Melua, pop vocalist Will Young and the Welsh classical singer Katherine Jenkins are all due to perform.
