VE DAY 80

BABY

Mummy, why am I watching a flypast on the TV?

And why are there lots of happy people - that I can see?

MOTHER

Well, it’s because 80 years ago today World War Two ended,

They’re celebrating this fact; yes, the armed forces were needed.

You see we had been fighting Germany for six years,

There were lots of destruction, death, injuries and tears.
