After criticism earlier in the year, Southampton City Council have committed to holding a “special event” to mark the 75th anniversary of the victory for Europe over Germany.
However, civic chiefs have hit back saying no decisions have been made yet and stressed they are exploring the idea at this stage, but that this is the "typical knee-jerk reaction" they get from the Itchen MP.
It's all at an early stage of discussion at the moment, so details are thin on the ground, but we thought Islanders might be interested to get an early heads up.
