Bruno Peek, 74, from Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk, masterminded worldwide beacon tributes for the late Queen's golden, diamond and platinum jubilees.Mr Peek hoped the country would unite at 21:30 BST on 8 May to sing the hymn I Vow to Thee My Country.

"We want the whole country... to stop what they're doing, stand up and sing this wonderful British hymn," he said."I just felt there must be something that can bring people together that doesn't have any political, religious or any other overtones, that people can sing with a simple heart without feeling they are being pressured to sing it for somebody else," Mr Peek added."They're singing it for them [the fallen soldiers] but what they're doing by singing for them, they're singing it together."

Mr Peek, who staged the millennium beacon project, was made an OBE in 2000 and became a Commander of the Royal Victoria Order (RVO) in 2022.He said he had spent months organising events to mark VE Day, with a particular focus on Scotland this year.

"When people think of World War Two, like World War One, so many just think it's England, but they forget the sacrifice the Scots, Welsh and Irish made too," he said.

He has organised 20 bagpipe players across Scotland to play Celebratum, composed by the piper Stuart Liddell, every morning for 80 days from midday on 12 February counting down until VE Day on 8 May.Ms Deacon founded a range of organisations, including the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society to engage doctors and healthcare professionals, Medcan Family Foundation to support other parents and carers, and Maple Tree Consultants where she worked with industry to press for change and improved outcomes.
