The VE Day commemorations were capped off with a national sing-along of Dame Vera Lynn’s wartime anthem “We’ll Meet Again”.
Across the country, people flung open their doors and windows or made their socially-distanced way into the street to take part in the closing act of the 75th anniversary celebrations.
The cast on the BBC’s montage included nurses, construction workers, tube drivers, a man in a kilt, shop workers wearing masks, vets, farmers, postal deliver workers, restaurant staff, Beefeaters and schoolchildren.
Meanwhile Sky News filmed live from two streets in Wimbledon in south London and Wanborough in Wiltshire.
All together now...
We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through, just like you always do
‘Till the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away
And I will just say hello, To the folks that you know
Tell them you won’t be long
They’ll be happy to know that, as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
