Wragby celebrated VE Day with a fancy dress event and much more.

Local photographer John Edwards was due to hold a display of photographs from May 1945 this month in Wragby Church and Methodist Chapel as part of the West Lindsey Open Churches event.

Sadly, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this popular event has been cancelled.

John has kindly given the Market Rasen Mail permission to publish just a few of his vast collection.
