8 May

8 May was widely noted by humans as VE Day, the day of the Allies' 1945 victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. On that day, a major celebration took place in Trafalgar Square in London. (PROSE: Magic of the Angels) The Seventh Doctor and his companions Ace and Hex were present in London for it. (AUDIO: Casualties of War)

Of course, 8 May wasn't only important for VE Day. In 2593, Bernice Summerfield and Wolsey, her cat, left the Eighth Doctor on the 8th of May to go to their new home, the Garland College Hall of Residence. (PROSE: The Dying Days)
