On 8th May 1945, Winston Churchill announced VE Day - Victory in Europe, which marked the end of World War Two and followed Germany's surrender about a week after Adolf Hitler had committed suicide. It had been the deadliest human conflict of all time and its influence and aftermath stretched well past it’s 60th anniversary in 2005, right up to the present day. The design of this £2 features a depiction of St Paul's Cathedral which survived the Blitz to become a great symbol of hope to a war-torn nation.
