In 2020 Cheshire Archives and Local Studies asked residents of Cheshire to contribute images of their lockdown experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, as part of “Life in Lockdown: Your Stories Shared”. This image is one of thirty selected to represent the collection on the Cheshire Image Bank.

Victory in Europe Day was marked on 8th May 1945, and celebrates the formal acceptance by the Allies of Germany's unconditional surrender of its armed forces, marking the end of World War II in Europe. 2020 marked the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
