PICTURES: Boston folk work hard to celebrate VE Day in style despite the lockdown

It may not have been the way everyone hoped, but many have still been able to mark the occasion in some form.

There have been virtual celebrations, social distancing street dancing, and bunting and decorations festooning homes, schools and other buildings.

The Visit Boston virtual event saw The Biz theatre school and Boston Jive dance group entertaining those who tuned in for it.

The Biz arranged for a number of online performances, including an ensemble performance of the White Cliffs of Dover, via Zoom, which was relayed to the Facebook event.

Frampton House Residential Care Home put on a special celebration event for residents and staff for VE Day.

Christine Chapman and her friends turned up their vintages cars, keeping a safe distance, and danced for the residents and staff.

This was followed by fish, chips and peas, afternoon tea and a glass of bubbly at the Frampton care home.

Manager Emma Harvey said: “All the staff were amazing and really got into the spirt, dressing up and working so hard, we are a fantastic team and we are proud of them all.”

Schools such as Wyberton Primary, although not in school today, posted flags and bunting, and the key workers children in the school this week enjoyed a sing-a-long dance and performed We’ll Meet Again.

At Asda, staff at the store got into the VE Day spirit, decoratting the checkouts with bunting and balloons, and the team dressed in red, white and blue and 1940s style costumes.
