UK - 50th VE Day Community Celebrations In London

Описание: (7 May 1995) T/I: 11:28:15
Hot sunny weather and community spirit helped to make V-E Day
street parties go with a swing throughout Britain. Residents of
Glengall Street in southeast London joined together for their
party and to remember how the area was bombed during the Blitz.
The street was decked out with bunting and wartime posters. The
children recounted stories their grandparents had told them about
life during the war and enjoyed playing popular wartime games,
such as hopscotch. Queen of the street is 73-year-old Marjorie
Benson who has vivid memories of life in the community during
World War II.
