Seventy-five years ago, the guns across Europe fell silent and the war with Nazi Germany came to an end.

It is now known as VE Day. Bagpipers and Buglers from around the world have found a way to recognize the 75 years even during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They will step out onto their front lawns, many dressed in full red serge to play.

At 2:55, it will be the last post,followed by a moment of silence and then bagpipers.

There are three in the Greater Moncton region. Step outside and you might be able to hear. One in the west end, another in Dieppe near Fox Creek and a third in near Irishtown.
