Enjoy VE day all.
Doing anything special. We're having individual garden parties and some one is playing 1940-50s tunes.

Spent a moment in the garden, holding a bottle of Spitfire Ale, giving silent thanks to all those who made it possible for me to celebrate VE Day.

Raised a glass with the mrs this evening
We also heard a float coming so scrambled out to watch it go by. There was a spitfire out locally too but we were just out of its path unfortunately.

Just had a family Cream tea in the garden with the kids and discussed the goods and the bads of the CV Lockdown experience.
Good (somewhat enforced) family time really as normally the kids would have been out somewhere

Had a few drinks in our small corner of the world to celebrate VE Day, I had to smile when our hosts revealed the union flag actually came from the Ark Royal

To be pedantic Rob, it's not upside down, he's just hung it from the right instead of the left. You can see the reinforcing seam down the right edge.
So I guess it's right way up, but back to front.

I had a couple beers and had the attached photo put up in the front window. The picture is of my late father sitting upon the wing of a Seafire onboard HMS Indifatigable, he was a Leading Air Mechanic with 820 Squadron.

It made me think of my parents.
Dad was in the control room at Battersea Power station when it got bombed in September 1940 and nearly lost an ear lobe, but it got sewed back on then he was sent to St Peters in Chertsey to convalesce.
The photo shows how it looked after it got hit.
Mum started work at the Admiralty in 1939 in her teens.
They met on a "Dig for Victory" week, and I suppose the rest is history - like my sister and me!
Hopefully Mum's care home did something special yesterday - she was 98 last month but I haven't seen her since 11 March when they sensibly stopped visits.
They went through so much for our benefit.

Nice thread. Thanks for posting it.
My dad, Patton's 3rd Army, 14th AD 125th Combat Engineer Bt. Landed in France and stayed throughout the occupation in Germany but visited England on a number of occasions. Had nothing but good things to say about Great Britain and it's people.
