Each year, a little school in Chelsea is thrown back to a different continent, era or decade, in order to raise money for the children within. This year, we revisited 8th May 1945. To the end of World War II and our defeat over the Nazis.

Although I am certain that no street party or summer fayre could ever re-enact the celebrations that would have ensued in London on that day, it was an afternoon of Pimms and fun in the sunshine nonetheless and a great way to commemorate  the 70 years since our victory.
