You're invited to join in virtual celebrations to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day on 8th May
We’re disappointed that the planned events have had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but that doesn’t mean we can’t still mark this momentous occasion.
We may not be able to line the streets but we can still remember those who fought in the Second World War and cheer on those who continue to serve in our Armed Forces.
Dress Your Windows
Dress you windows in red, white and blue and with our downloadable posters - there's one for the kids to colour in too.
Local people can look out for them on whilst they are outside exercising.
