In May 2020 the early May Day Bank Holiday has been moved from Monday 4 May to Friday 8 May to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day. There is a planned series of national events over three days from Friday 8 through to Sunday 10 May.
Fareham has a history of recognising significant dates relating to WW1 and WW2. As such officers have been asked to explore an appropriate way for the Council to mark V E Day.
Officers have identified two proposals as stated below:
(i) For a new, appropriately designed commemorative seat to be installed at a location to be determined within the Borough.
(ii) For the Council to provide a level of financial support to enable Lee Flying Association and Regional City Airports (RCA), to subsidise pre-1955 aircraft visiting Solent Airport on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May.
