West Northamptonshire Council

One Angel Square and Northampton Market Square will be illuminated as part of the national Beacon Lighting Ceremony. Cllr Daniel Lister, Cabinet Member for Local Economy, Culture, and Leisure, said: "VE Day remains a powerful reminder of the resilience, courage, and unity shown by communities during one of the most challenging times in history. It is important that we continue to honour and remember the sacrifices made for the peace we enjoy today.   “Through these events, we hope people of all generations can come together to celebrate and reflect on this momentous occasion. I encourage everyone to take part, whether by attending a beacon lighting, visiting one of our themed library or museum activities, or supporting local events in our communities."
