Well what an emotional VE Weekend we have all had. Our family held a VE Party on the 8th of May. We sang along to all the World War Two songs, watched the Ceremony at the Cenotaph, and sat in respectful silence at 3pm.
Then on Saturday we watched the superb Party to Remember. Everyone must have been in floods of tears as Jane Horrocks struggled to read out the letter from Lieutenant George Morrison, which was to be given to his mother in the event of his death. Sadly like so many, many other Mums she received that letter.
It was a very emotional and educational concert. We owe so much to all of those men and women who lost their lives fighting for our country and our freedom.
This afternoon I created this picture as a very small tribute to VE Day.
The words with the music say " In England's Green and Pleasant Land" from 'Jerusalem'
The Poppy Field Stamp is made by Crafty Individuaals.
I am entering this picture into the following challenges.
