V-E Day in London features a BBC Radio commentary by Macdonald Hastings. On 7 May 1945, the formal act of military surrender was signed by Germany, marking the end of the war in Europe. The following day, celebrations erupted worldwide to commemorate Victory in Europe, or VE Day. In Britain, Winston Churchill declared 8 May a public holiday to honor this significant occasion.

Douglas Edward Macdonald "Mac" Hastings (6 October 1909 – 4 October 1982) was an English journalist, author, and war correspondent. His insights into the events of VE Day provide a unique perspective on this historic moment.
