Remembering VE Day.

[Winnie]

On this day 8th May 1945 Germany capitulated and the war in Europe was over. I found this timeline in the Guardian Newspaper interesting.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/w...ened-live.html

It was to be several more months before VJ Day and finally the end of the War.

I cannot image how difficult life was for Londoners in particular but the whole of England during those terrible times. A good time to give thanks to those that gave so much so that we can enjoy our freedoms. Allies to the end.

Here's a picture my Dad took on VE Day.

We really don't hear about it too much over here.....But I'll bet it was a big deal when the bombs stopped.

MF was in the Pacific, as were 2 uncles....1 uncle and an aunt in Europe....FIL wounded and paraplegic in Europe.
They have all passed....but their legacy of freedom along with the Allies,.... we still enjoy.
Thanks for posting.

[Winnie]

It certainly does make you grateful. That a whole generation from all corners of the world took up the call and fought such evil never ceases to humble me.

I was impressed by the message from the King and by the picture of a young Queen Elizabeth. Although I am not British and was born after WWII, I remember a quotation from the Queen Mother when it was suggested that she and her daughters leave London because it was being bombed:

The girls will stay as long as I am here,
I will stay as long as the King is here, and
The King will not leave
