BRITAIN-HEALTH-VIRUS-CONFLICT-HISTORY-WWII-VE DAY

Workers and war veterans wearing PPE (personal protective equipment) of a face mask as a precautionary measure against COVID-19, social distance as they assemble and prepare for shipping commemorative "Tommy" figures at the Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI) BBMC (Britain's Bravest Manufacturing Company) factory in Aylesford, south east England on May 5, 2020, ahead of the 75th anniversary of VE day (Victory in Europe Day) marking the end on World War II on May 8. Britons have been encouraged to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day, even though all the country is still in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic - the RBLI charity's "Tommy in the Window" campaign is one way in which people are able to show their support. Each purchase of one of the RBLI's commemorative military 'Tommy' figures assists with helping a veteran into employment or onto an employment course.
