Britain's What's On Event Guide
Highbury care home invites community to honour VE Day
Three care homes around Islington are opening their doors to the community to mark 80 years since the end of World War II.
On Thursday 8th May, Care UK’s Muriel Street, on Muriel Street, Lennox House, on Durham Road, and Highbury New Park, in Highbury New Park, are welcoming local people to honour the 80th anniversary of VE Day with their very own 1940s-themed garden parties.
VE Day was celebrated on 8th May 1945, after Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio that the war in Europe had come to an end. This emotional news sparked celebrations across the country, with many taking to the streets for spontaneous parties.
The teams at all three homes have been hard at work organising their own special commemorative events, which will see residents and guests enjoy delicious food, entertainment and dancing as they embrace the spirit of the 1940s.
At Highbury New Park, friends and relatives will hear a special VE Day performance from the choir at St Joan of Arc School before enjoying refreshments from 11am-12pm.
