On Sunday, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and President Horst Koehler attended a wreath-laying ceremony at a memorial to victims of Nazism.

Koehler said Germans have the responsibility to keep awake the memory for all this suffering and its causes and must ensure it never happens again.

Also on Sunday, Britain's Prince Charles laid a wreath before London's monument to the dead of the Second World War with the attendance of some 4,000 servicemen.

A huge concert will also be held in Trafalgar Square in London on Sunday evening to mark the VE Day.

Commemorations were also held in Russian, Poland, France, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland.
