VE Day: Reader photos of how Peterborough celebrated 75th anniversary

It is the 75th anniversary of VE Day today (Friday), marking the moment victory in Europe during the Second World War was secured by the Allies.

The current lockdown due to the coronavirus has made it difficult to celebrate the occasion, but that has not stopped residents in Peterborough from paying their own fitting tributes, as shown by these photos sent into the Peterborough Telegraph.

If you have any photos you would wish to share, please email [email protected] and we will add more to this article later today.

We will also be publishing a round-up of how Peterborough marked VE Day later this afternoon.
