They wrote: "Today marks the 75th anniversary of VE Day — 75 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe." They also shared that she had joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service, where she trained as a mechanic, becoming the first female member of the Royal Family to join the Armed Services as a full-time active member.

Her title was Princess Elizabeth at that time.

On this day millions of people took to the streets and pubs to celebrate peace, mourn their loved ones, and to hope for the future."

The Queen also paid tribute to her father, King George, and his iconic speech by posting a video of it on the royal family's twitter account. She is currently isolating with Prince Philip at Windsor Castle as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

While she is unable to see her family at the moment, the monarch reportedly enjoyed a virtual birthday party for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, Archie Harrison, who turned one this week.
