Join us on Friday 2nd May 2025 at 6.30pm at the iconic Coventry Cathedral to commemorate 80 years since Victory in Europe Day and the end of World War II in Europe. This special fundraising concert for the Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF) will feature sensational live performances from special guests including the Brass Band of Central England, renowned Cellist Guy Johnston, and the UK’s premier wartime act, the D-Day Darlings.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Torch of Commemoration will be present as a central symbol of remembrance throughout the event.

The CWGF supports a range of innovative projects that educate people, especially the younger generation, about the work of the CWGC and the men and women who gave their lives in the two World Wars. The money raised at this event will directly fund these efforts to keep their stories alive.
