Britain is marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day this week with four days of commemorations honoring the end of World War II on the continent, as well as those who served and perished during the conflict.

Members of the British royal family — including King Charles, Prince William and his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, along with their children George, Louis and Charlotte — were pictured ahead of VE Day.

King Charles will oversee the Victory in Europe (VE Day) events, which span four days, and include a flypast over Buckingham Palace featuring 23 current and historic military aircraft. The King and Queen will be joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales in watching a military procession through the capital on Monday.
