THE Queen will lead the nation at a religious service commemorating the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day, when Second World War Allied forces finally defeated Hitler's Nazi troops on the continent.

The Queen and senior members of the Royal Family will attend the Westminster Abbey service of thanksgiving - the culmination of three-days of events marking the milestone.
