On Monday, May 5, the Royal Family turned to its official Instagram handle to share a few exclusive glimpses from the 80th anniversary celebrations, taking place at the Queen Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace.

The carousel of photos showed the 76-year-old monarch saluting to the military units processing down The Mall from Whitehall in honor of the heroes of WW II.

They paid a heartfelt tribute to the "extraordinary veterans" who joined the 80th anniversary celebrations alongside the entire British Royal Family.

"We remember and pay tribute to all those who served during the Second World War," the caption stated.

They continued, "The King and Queen, alongside other Members of the Royal Family, joined extraordinary veterans (@RoyalBritishLegion) on the Queen Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace to observe military units processing down The Mall."
