The London Victory Celebrations of 1946 were British Commonwealth, Empire and Allied victory celebrations held after the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.
On 1 November 1945 the Prime Minister appointed a committee under the chairmanship of the Home Secretary, James Chuter Ede to formulate plans for official Victory Celebrations. But the celebrations took place in London on 8 June 1946, and consisted mainly of a military parade through the city and a night time fireworks display.
