The procession includes specific military units such as the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, One and Two Medical Regiment, and the three, four, five, and six battalions of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, among others. The parade is meticulously organized under the supervision of Garrison Sergeant Major Andrew Stokes, ensuring high standards and precision in the event.

Sophie Raworth presents the live broadcast from St James’s Park in London, while Paddy O’Connell, whose father served during the Second World War, provides commentary on the event.

The procession begins in Parliament Square when Big Ben strikes midday, accompanied by an actor reciting extracts from Winston Churchill's iconic VE Day speech. A young person then passes the Commonwealth War Graves Torch for Peace to Alan Kennett, a 100-year-old Second World War veteran who served in the Normandy campaign.

The procession starts at Parliament Square, marches down Whitehall, passes the Cenotaph, goes through Admiralty Arch, and continues up The Mall to Buckingham Palace. It includes more than 1,300 members of the armed forces, uniformed services, and young people, followed by a tri-service procession group featuring members of all three armed forces.

The event culminates in a spectacular flypast featuring the Red Arrows and 23 current and historic military aircraft, marking the historic anniversary with a grand aerial tribute.
