Beacons were lit in Berkshire on Thursday evening, marking the end of a day of celebrations and commemorations for VE Day.
During the day, memorial services were held, and a two-minute silence at midday marked 80 years since the end of World War Two in Europe.
Hundreds of people also attended parades, afternoon teas and concerts.
In Reading, a single piper led a procession for a service of remembrance and in Newbury residents brought picnics to the beacon ceremony in Victoria Park.
