I've been in London for a few days. There were a few men and ladies, staying in the same hotel as us, who had served in the forces during the war and were down for the anniversary of VE Day. Brave people who deserve our thanks and respect.

I agree ....makes all our * problems* these days look trivial .....

Exactly, on both points.
Yes, thanks to those people who fought for us to allow to do what we do today
As ever I am in awe of what others have done so I don't have to
You don't have to what?
Risk my life - fight - kill - live in fear - sacrafice

Ah,
I'm watching the concert thing on BBC1 - quite enjoying it (even if Elaine Paige seemed to wearing her dressing gown. Right now Gregory Porter is singing 'As time goes by' It's fab.
Yeah I'm on that now.
Decent telly it is.
All the wee films and things too, donks.. can't begin to imagine living through it.
I had the news on, I've just turned over

I live with someone who did.
Yep, some really nice bits.
And Chris's suit is immaculate.
Mum's gone now, but Dad did - although he rarely talks about it. At least here they weren't bombed to bits.
.. and Chris is looking very dapper.
Kids serving and doing their bit!

Nope but I'll overlook the London centrality. You'd think they fought them on their own.
It's always the same Donks. We don't exist up here

The boss was shouting at the telly

I think anyone that didn't go through it knows what it was truly like
have to say.. this is so moving
We thoroughly enjoyed that. Both our Dads were heavily involved and are no longer with us. Very very moving indeed.

Jeeze.. that letter...
made me cry
Both my parents lived through it. Mum was a schoolgirl. Dad left school at 14 and joined the Navy - had to lie about his age to get in.
They're both gone now. Dad never spoke much about it. Mum was able to talk a bit more about it, probably because she never had to witness the same level of horror as dad probably did.

Indeed.
I was talking to my mum earlier. She went to a VE dance at a local village which went on into the early hours. She was petrified as she cycled home expecting her Dad to go mental. But he was sat happily in his chair having hit a bottle of whiskey, so pleased that it was over.
Even Liz and Margaret got to let their hair downâĶ apparently
Canadian soldiers in Leicester Square 8/5/1945
My Dad's youngest sister and the sole survivor out of the six of them ended up in Canada as a result of this sort of fraternisation!

My Grandfather (from Dalmuir) was in the Merchant Navy and served on the North Atlantic convoys throughout the war.
Truly wish I had been in London over this weekend
