V.E. DAY CELEBRATIONS SHOW CITY’S STEEL SPIRIT VICTORY in Europe (VE Day), held to celebrate the end of the war in Europe in 1945, was remembered with a difference this year. Planned celebrations continued in ‘stay safe’ style with the people of Sheffield being invited to pay their respects and say thank you to the millions who lost their lives in the Second World War. The Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Councillor Tony Downing, marked the occasion on Friday in his ‘Tribute to the millions’ speech and Leader of the Council, Councillor Julie Dore, paid tribute with the words of ‘Cry for Peace’. Video memories of those who remember the war were played as local veterans shared their stories of their part in the war and what it was like and lo-
cal councillors, who were young children at the beginning of the war, shared some of their memories too. Music played a big part in marking the day. No VE celebration is complete without ‘We’ll Meet Again’ and this was performed by Rebecca Lambert from Sheffield City Opera. Members of the City of Sheffield pipe band, Jim Oakes and Chris McCarthy will play ‘Battle’s O’er’ wearing the Sheffield Tartan. All of these recordings were played from Friday and over the weekend on social media and are available at www.sheffieldnewsroom.co.uk. Around the city, street parties took place with social distancing in place, such as this one in Chapelton pictured by photographer Harry Sykes.
