Normanby's VE day celebrations under lockdown!

Yesterday, our nation came together, even though forced apart by the lockdown to remember the end of the war in Europe and mark 75 years sine VE Day.We are extremely lucky to live in a small corner of North Lincs where we have found such lovely and supportive neighbours aka friends!  So after marking two minutes silence at 11.00am we socially distance ourselves  (until 9.00pm!!)  around our homes and celebrated with many bottles of Prosecco, Beer, G&T's, Whiskey, Ginger Wine, Cakes and the great British standby fish and chips - a fabulous day which I doubt had it not been for the virus would not have taken place.

The Queen I think accurately hit the mark when she said, "our streets are not empty, they are filled with the love and the care that we have for each other".

So without further a do here's our cast;
