VE Day 75 at Bristol Cathedral

Bristol Cathedral broadcast live a commemorative VE Day 75 service on Facebook.  The service involved civic dignitaries, including the Lord-Lieutenant Mrs Peaches Golding, High Sheriff Mr Chris Wyld and Lord Mayor Cllr Jos Clarke.  Footage taken from newspapers and newsreels from 1945 created an atmosphere that captured the gratitude of the nation, both then and now.  Bristol's Proclamation Carriage, shown here, was driven around central Bristol to announce the ending of World War II, after six long years of gruelling battles in Northern Europe.
