It is not just Brussels, but the whole of Belgium, that is preparing to celebrate the 80th anniversary of its liberation from Nazi occupation during World War Two with festivities, ceremonies and tributes across the country.

Just three months after the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day and five long years after the UK and France declared war on Nazi Germany, the Allied forces started the liberation of Belgium in September 1944 with Mons being the first Belgian city to be liberated on 2 September, swiftly followed by Brussels and Antwerp.
