Party Leaders Side By Side To Mark VE Day

A service has been held at the Cenotaph in Whitehall starting formal commemorations of the victory over Nazi Germany 70 years ago. David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg appeared together - just hours after the results of a bitter General Election  were announced. Mr Clegg and Mr Miliband were performing their last major public roles as party leaders after resigning. The ceremony started at 3pm - the time Prime Minister Winston Churchill informed the nation of the German surrender.
