Four Ashes in the Forties - #V E Day!

Wartime romance was in the air at this year's 1940s SSFA charity event at #Four Ashes. With a marriage proposal, on stage (she accepted!), two re-enactors also received a congratulatory speech from King George V1.

And romance wasn't the only thing in the air! An impressive low level fly past by a Douglas DC3 Dakota delighted the crowds.


On Sunday morning there was a Victory in Europe Day service and parade with a moving "legacy of peace" sermon from Padre Eric.


There were lots of exhibitions, displays, military and civilian vehicles, vintage stalls and of course the WWII re-enactors and a lovely sunny day helped make this event an enjoyable occasion.
