According to Mirror, England captain and Tottenham Hotspur superstar Harry Kane has led the sporting tributes on the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
VE day signifies the end of World War II in Europe. The momentous day occurred three-quarters of a century ago after Nazi Germany capitulated to England and her allies.
It brought to an end six years of pain and suffering to a number of nations all across Europe. VE Day marks an important time to recognize the efforts of all those involved in the war effort. This includes remembering the estimated 85 million people who lost their lives worldwide.
