The Lee Victory Festival will be one the largest community celebration in Hampshire, helping us to commemorate both the 76th anniversary of VE & VJ Days. Our ancestors and veterans, will be honoured for sacrificing their freedom; to give us ours. It is imperative that we share their stories to create a living legacy, both today and for future generations.
To help with the awareness of the event and to remember those fallen heroes we are promoting the musical track called 'Reverie' composed by Robby Toner (https://www.facebook.com/pg/robbytonermusic) who's given LVF the permission to use the track as its theme tune for the event. We are very honoured to be able to use this such amazing and relevant song, Thank you Robby.
This 1940’s themed event is being held in Lee on the Solent, Hampshire, a village by the sea overlooking the Solent thus giving the event a coastal backdrop. The event will be held in various areas including the High Street, Recreation Ground, Seafront and Church across the weekend.
Originally called LEE VE75, which was to be held to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of VE Day on May 8th 2020., but like many others had to be cancelled because of COVID-19.
Now with it's planning and secured sponsorship the event has been remanded the Lee Victory Festival and will be delivered over three days using several areas around the outdoor venue of Lee where there will be the presence of HM Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire. Nigel Atkinson on the Saturday and representation on Sunday.
