Today we celebrated VE Day together with the people living with us. It was a wonderful morning filled with memories, reflection, and conversation. We began by listening to the story of the young Princess Elizabeth going out to celebrate on the streets of London on the 8th of May 1945. Afterwards, we enjoyed a VE Day quiz together, which brought back many memories and sparked lots of discussion.
We also explored replicas of wartime magazines, newspapers, flyers, ration books, and wartime instructions, many of which our residents remembered well. Looking through these items together led to some lovely conversations and reminiscence about life during and after the war. It was a very meaningful and enjoyable morning for everyone involved.
