England - London - 1990s children and WW2 anniversary couple

1990s children play near a display of wartime Brits during 1995 VE Day 50th anniversary celebrations in London. Two girls wearing identical pink costumes with hearts stand near the poster of the happy wartime couple. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved. Street parties now – as they did in 1945 – played a large part in the country’s patriotic well-being.
