As well as having the honour to take part in the VE Day 80th anniversary service in Thorne Park last week, we were also graced with a visit from Mr and Mrs Miller of the Royal British Legion this Monday, who came to admire our wonderful corridor display. We had tried to convey the joy of that day so long ago by recreating a street party, and we tried to think about the emotions felt by the British people as they celebrated the end of the conflict in Europe.
Historic, jubilant, commemorative, celebratory, moving, triumphant, and hopeful…all of these feelings and more.
Thankfully, our children’s generation have never had the reason to feel these emotions for this reason…and hopefully learning about them will ensure that they will never have to…
But to everyone who lived through these life changing times….We thank you for your service x
