What does VE Day mean to my grandfather?

For many of us, Victory in Europe Day - better known as VE Day - is something we learn about in history lessons.

But for Tamzin's grandad, it was something he experienced.

We wanted to find out how 95-year-old Louis experienced VE Day - the end of World War Two in Europe - and why he thinks we should still be celebrating 75 years later.

Louis' amazing story was brought to the attention of Newsround by The Royal British Legion. He was meant to be at the Royal British Legion's special event marking the day but it was cancelled because of the ongoing situation with coronavirus.
