英女王出席二战胜利庆典

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has attended a thanksgiving service to mark the end of World War Two in Europe at London's Westminster Abbey. She was accompanied by husband Prince Philip, son Prince Charles, Prime Minister David Cameron and around 1,000 veterans and their families.

The service was followed by a parade of serving military personnel and veterans. They passed the balcony of the Treasury building, where wartime leader Winston Churchill made his famous VE Day address.

Current and historical aircraft, including wartime Hurricanes and Spitfires, then performed a flypast over central London. Britain kicked off commemorations on Friday, with a service at the Cenotaph war memorial in central London.
