In celebration and heartfelt respect for all those who gave up so much for our freedom, we organised a community VE Day celebration. As you know Covid 19 arrived so our live event could not take place.
We decided to improvise and make a You tube video of music, chat and comedy to air on the 8th May.
We had the wonderful musical talent of our dear friend Nick Breeze on the piano while I sang a couple of old songs. Nick also shared some of his jokes and then played us out with his Trumpet.
I would like to give a mention to the passing of a wonderful lady Dame Vera Lynn. We had the pleasure of meeting Dame Vera on a couple of occasions and her love and compassion shone through.
Dad was Dame Vera escort at a War and Peace show one year.
There have been many words written and spoken about Dame Vera but I would like to add that she was The Pearly Queen of the people. Lifting their spirits in many ways through very dark and extremely challenging times.
We love you Dame Vera may you rest in peace until we meet again.
