75th VE Day celebrations in the Giddings

Photos taken on the 75th anniversary of VE Day around Great Gidding (and Little Gidding) during the ‘lockdown’ due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Despite social-isolation restrictions everyone managed to have a joyful day with lots of photo sharing via social media. Thanks to everyone that got involved and to Michael and Julie for orchestrating the day.

If anyone wants to add their photos just email them to paulcrank@thegiddings.org.uk

Village celebration of VE Day – Lockdown Style

Village celebration of VE Day – Lockdown Style

In 1945 Winston Churchill announced Victory in Europe, the end of the Second World War on 8th May.
So join in the celebration on the afternoon of 8th May 2020 in your own front gardens, or on the pavement outside your house (2m apart from your neighbours) with a cup of tea (or beverage of your choice) and cake.

You may also wish to decorate your garden, front of house, in 1940s style, or red, white and blue.
Please take some photographs for display in the Village Hall on a future date.
