The King led tributes at the ceremony in Westminster Abbey, where he was joined by 78 Second World War veterans, senior royals and politicians.
He then addressed the audience at 9pm – 80 years to the hour on from his grandfather George VI’s address to the nation on 8 May, 1945.
Recalling the VE Day speeches, Charles said: “We should remind ourselves of the words of our great wartime leader, Sir Winston Churchill, who said ‘meeting jaw to jaw is better than war’.
“For as my grandfather put it, ‘We shall have failed, and the blood of our dearest will have flowed in vain, if the victory which they died to win does not lead to a lasting peace, founded on justice and established in good will’.
