Councillors conducted a short ceremony at the War Memorial to commemorate VE day. Given the current policy on isolation it was a small gathering attended by Councillors (Chairman) Marshall, Whitby, Jago and ffrench Blake and wife Gillian along with Anthony Scott-Hopkins for Friends of the Church and Andrew and Jean Button who arranged some patriotic decorations.
After a short address by Councillor ffB, Cllr Jago placed the wreath that had been supplied by Cllr Whitby. After two minutes silence Anthony S-H gave a short address reminding ups of Churchill's and the King's words on VE day as well as a recital of the lyrics (not the melody) of words of "The White Cliffs of Dover."
