VE/VJ Day Commemeration

So uckfield to do the 'weekend shop' (how English!) when we went to park we found that the local village playing field had been set up as a war commemeration day....







In Hong Kong the commemeration of the wars ending is usually with a ceremony and a wreath laying....in Britain they lay the wreaths, they attend the church services and they watch the TV documentaries...but to make it really real and remind people of the bravery, heroism and the horrors of war...the people that fought in the war come and tell their stories, showing what they fought with and (hard as it may seem on a sunny summer's day on a playing field) the conditions in which they lived and fought.

Watching the elderly ladies and gentlemen tell the children about the war was watching history lessons being brought to life.
