The 70th anniversary of VE Day was commemorated at Sheffield Cathedral with a 1940s themed living history event for all the family.

There was displays, vehicles, home front and military re-enactors and children’s activities outside and inside the cathedral to commemorate and remember Sheffield’s role in World War 2 and celebrate the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe 1945.

1940s music was played throughout the day by a Swing Band, pianist and the Bobby Pins Trio (think Andrews Sisters!). ‘Winston Churchill’ gave his famous speeches as we remembered his visit to Sheffield following the Blitz in 1940.
