CARE HOME residents took a step back in time to mark the 81st anniversary of VE Day.
Blossomfield Grange pulled out all the stops to commemorate the poignant anniversary and hosted a 1940s-themed party with food, music and dancing as they recaptured the spirit of the era.
VE Day marks the moment Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio that the war in Europe had come to an end.
This news sparked celebrations across the country, with many taking to the streets for spontaneous parties.
Resident Ron Gamsby, 91, said: “VE Day will always be an important day as it marks the end of the war, which I remember well in my younger years.”
Observer photographer, Marcus Mingins, was on hand to capture these images.
