Do you have any memories of that momentous day, on May 8, 1945, when Victory in Europe was confirmed at the end of the Second World War?

Do you have any photos of family members enjoying street parties or celebrating that momentous day in Melton or one of the surrounding villages?

We would like to hear from residents of the Melton borough who remember what that day was like or from families who have treasured photos handed down through the generations of street parties or other celebrations.

Send your photos or written family memories via email to [email protected] and we will publish them in the paper as part of the feature next week.
