On 7th May 1945, after six long years of war, Germany surrendered to the Allies and the war in Europe was over. King George VI announced victory in Europe at 9pm over the radio and declared that the following day would be a national holiday. Many people didn’t wait until the following day to begin celebrating! Street parties erupted all over London, church bells rang out all over the country, bonfires were lit and colourful bunting was strung up all over the streets as soon as the radio announcement was made!
Can you create your own bunting ?
