VE Day

VE Day
On: 
8th May 2020 12:00am
Description: 

When VE Day dawns on 8th May 2020 it will be 75 years since the guns fell silent at the end of the war in Europe.

The 75th anniversary will provide our nation, and our friends around the world, with an opportunity to reflect on the enormous sacrifice, courage and determination of people from all walks of life who saw us through this dark and terrifying period. 

It will be an opportunity for us all to remember the enormous sacrifices that were made at home and abroad and to joyously celebrate as people did 75 years ago, the arrival of peace in Europe.

Harrogate Yarn Community Project appealed for thousands of knitted or crocheted bunting pennants to line the route from the Prince of Wales roundabout, down Parliament Street to the Royal Hall.  Please do keep any knitted & crocheted bunting pennants and we will still yarn bomb the town centre at some point in the future.
