VE-Day in Colour: Britain's Biggest Party (2020x30)


Air date: May 03, 2020

Using newly recorded accounts and previously unseen archive, this is the story of the day in May 1945 when the fighting finally stopped across Europe and the celebrations began as Britain rejoiced in unity. The stories of ordinary folk are heard, but alongside the happy tales of street parties, fancy dress, and jelly and ice cream are the reflections of those thinking of loved ones who wouldn't return to enjoy a peace that was hard won.
