These are our VE Day heroes that still inspire us all in Leeds today

Across the United Kingdom people will pay tribute to those on VE Day who fought for our freedom.

Here, we take a look at some of our readers submissions of those who served during World War Two from Yorkshire. If you have anyone past or present you'd like to pay tribute to... send us yours over on Facebook and we'll add them to our article. We will remember them.
