Europe Day is held on 9 May annually and celebrates peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the anniversary of the historic 'Schuman declaration' that set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe's nations unthinkable. Schuman's proposal is considered to be the beginning of what is now the European Union.
Irish citizens make up one of the largest EU communities in Britain.
Below are a list of EU day events being held all across Britain.
