Pilsen marks the end of WWII

Memorial ceremonies have got underway in the west Bohemian city of Pilsen to mark the end of the Second World War and the liberation of the city by US troops on May 6, 1945. As every year, a number of Second World War veterans from the US and Belgium have accepted the invitation to attend the celebrations as guests of honour and the coming days are full of events, including a military parade, a veterans-car ride and an air show organized by the Czech Airforce.
