There are no plans for a Royal visit during Jersey’s Liberation Day events, the Bailiff has said.
Princess Anne will join the celebrations on Guernsey.
The German ambassador to the UK, His Excellency Mr Miguel Berger, and other members of the diplomatic community are joining the commemoration in Jersey, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the occupation.
The Bailiff of Jersey, Sir Timothy Le Cocq, said it was “very important” to share Jersey’s culture and heritage with others.
Mr Le Cocq said it was important “in these times of global uncertainty” that the German Ambassador took part in the commemoration.
He added welcoming diplomats to join the celebrations was “a way of Jersey celebrating its place in the international community, a way of looking outward as well as inward”.
Mr Le Cocq said he wanted to ensure the island’s senior citizens who experienced wartime Britain, and young people “who will carry on the memories and maintain the importance of our freedom”, enjoyed the Liberation Day and the events surrounding 9 May.
The Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles to be occupied during World War Two, with about 15,000 troops stationed on Jersey at one time.
The Germans brought in thousands of slave labourers and deported 1,200 people to internment camps, according to the Government of Jersey website.
