In a heartwarming tribute to 80 years of peace since the end of World War II in Europe, over 2,400 people came together on May 8, 2025, to mark VE Day with the world’s largest virtual cream tea party. Organised by Signature Dining — a UK food service provider for the care and welfare sector — the event obliterated the previous Guinness World Record of 659 participants, held since 2015.
The synchronised celebration, held at 3pm across all Signature Dining locations, was supported by industry partners Bidfood, Taylor’s Yorkshire Tea, and Twinings. More than just tea and scones, the event served as a powerful symbol of unity, resilience, and remembrance.
“Together, we honour the past and celebrate a future built on unity, hope, love and peace,” said Signature Dining.
