Memories of VE Day

Best of Today - Ein Podcast von BBC Radio 4

VE Day - or 'Victory in Europe Day' - marks the day towards the end of World War Two when fighting against Nazi Germany in Europe came to an end. The Today Programme has been speaking to four people with different memories of that day. Steven Frank had been sent to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. After enlisting at 17, Doug Farrington joined the Royal Welch Fusiliers and took part in the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium. Lilian Tuson was 18 on VE day and joined the crowds celebrating in London. Colonel John Waddy - now 99 - shared his memories of serving with the 4th Parachute Brigade. (Image: People celebrating in London. Credit: Getty Images)
