events based on life in the UK during the Second World War. A nearby 'Military Village,' also situated in St James's Park, will provide an opportunity for the public to meet serving military personnel who will be there with a display of modern military equipment. 89 No one will ever forget what they sacrificed in defending our freedom and securing peace across Europe, and we will continue to honour those who contributed at home and abroad.
