Remembering VE Day: 80 Years On
Honouring history with the D Day Darlings at Coombe Abbey
On 8th May 1945, Victory in Europe Day—known to most as VE Day—marked the end of World War II in Europe. After nearly six years of conflict, crowds gathered in towns, villages and cities across the UK to celebrate peace, remember lost loved ones, and look forward to a brighter future. It was a moment of national relief, unity, and hope.
This year marks 80 years since that momentous day, and we’re proud to honour the anniversary here at Coombe Abbey Hotel, in the heart of Warwickshire.
A Musical Tribute to the Era
To mark the occasion, we’re delighted to welcome the D Day Darlings back to Coombe Abbey for a very special afternoon performance on Friday 10th May. Known from Britain’s Got Talent and beloved across the UK, this wartime-inspired vocal group bring the spirit of the 1940s to life through their nostalgic harmonies, vintage style, and heartfelt performances.
Afternoon Tea with the D Day Darlings
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon steeped in both history and elegance. Enjoy our classic afternoon tea in the historic surroundings of Coombe Abbey, as the D Day Darlings perform iconic songs from the wartime era.
