Coventry & Warwickshire VE Day remembered by those who lived here

Shane O'Connor's Breakfast Show

Available for over a year

We mark 70 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe, although it would be another 3 months until Japan would surrender. May the 8th was a day of huge celebrations, with street parties held in towns and cities across the country. Our reporter Alec Blackman has been speaking to people in Coventry & Warwickshire who remember that day well.
