Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakapuakihia he maha o nga whetu rongonui o te motu ki te mahi i tetahi konohete hei whakanui i te 70 tau o te Ra VE. Ko Status Quo, ko Katherine Jenkins me te whetū o West End ko Elaine Paige ka mahi i te kaupapa. Koia tētahi o ngā mea nui o te whakamaharatanga e toru rā o te mutunga o te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, mai i te Paraire, 8 o Mei ki te Rātapu, 10 o Mei. Te konohete: Ka mahi a Status Quo i te huihuinga e tohu ana i te 70 tau o te VE Day. Ko nga mema Rick Parfitt (whakaahua maui) me Francis Rossi (matau) Katherine Jenkins ka noho ko te whetu West End Elaine Paige, te roopu tama Blue, te kaiwaiata R&B a Jamelia, te whetu pop a Pixie Lott, te kaiwaiata jazz a Gregory Porter me te tenor Alfie Boe. Ko etahi atu whetu ko te roopu tama a Blue, te kaiwaiata R&B a Jamelia, te whetu pop a Pixie Lott, te kaiwaiata jazz a Gregory Porter me te tenor a Alfie Boe. Ka tū te konohete i ngā tau 1940 i te Rāhoroi 9, ā, ka pāhotia i runga i te BBC1, nā Chris Evans i whakahaere. Ka hono atu ngā kaiwaiata ki ngā tokorua e whā o Strictly Come Dancing me ngā pānui mai i te kaihautū o Pointless a Alexander Armstrong me te kaiwhakaari o Absolutely Fabulous a Jane Horrocks. He wikitoria tēnei whakanui nui mō te Daily Mail, nāna i whakanui i ngā āwangawanga e kaha haere ana te pōtitanga i te 7 o Mei ki te whakararuraru i te rā whakanui. Ko te kaiwaiata a Dame Vera Lynn, te 98-tau-tau o Forces<unk> Sweetheart, i roto i te hunga i karanga ki te Kawanatanga kia nui ake te mahi hei tohu i te kaupapa. Tērā pea koinei te rā nui whakamutunga ka tae mai te whakatupuranga i whawhai i te kāinga, i tāwāhi hoki i te pakanga. I tono a David Cameron ki te Minita o te Kaunihera a William Hague i te Hui-tanguru ki te whakatakoto mahere mo nga ra e toru o nga whakamaharatanga a motu, a, i te marama kua hipa, i whakawhiwhia e te Kaiwhakahaere o te Kaunihera a George Osborne ki te £ 2 miriona i roto i te tahua tahua hei tohu i te kaupapa. Ko te wā o te rā whakanui, ka nui ake te wā motuhake, ka tīmata i te rā i muri i te pōtitanga whānui, tērā pea ka puta mai tētahi atu Pāremata e tū ana. Ko te konohete kaupapa o te 1940 ka uru atu ki nga panui mai i te kaihauturu a Alexander Armstrong (maui) me te Tino...
