75th Anniversary of VE Day, Friday May 8th 2020
2020-05-08 | Bramley War Memorial, LS13 3JZ
Message from Caroline Gruen, Chair of the Friends of Bramley War Memorial
The Friends of Bramley War Memorial have reluctantly had to take the decision to cancel the planned event to honour the anniversary of VE Day on 8th May, due to the risks of the current Coronavirus pandemic. We are very sorry that we cannot invite you collectively to remember those who were fighting on the home front on the day itself, but we are hoping to remember, honour and thank them at an organised event to embrace both VE Day, and VJ Day on 15th August.
As a mark of respect, Norah Gibson, a Friend of Bramley War Memorial and myself will (in a group of two only, in line with Coronavirus advice) lay a single wreath at the memorial, on behalf of the Bramley and Stanningley communities. We will do this at 3.00pm, the exact time that Churchill delivered his speech.
Our Union Flag will be flown and a lantern with lit candle will be on display.
If you have any memories, photos or memorabilia which has come in to the family through relatives we would be really pleased to see and share it for the purpose of making a book or something similar for access by our community. You can do this by contacting John Barker, Secretary of The Friends of Bramley War Memorial at email bramleywm@aol.com or by direct message.
We will remember together, but sadly physically apart on 8th May.
Caroline
