Britain's What's On Event Guide
Care UK's Lennox House 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 Lennox House, doors will be open to all from 2pm-4pm for an afternoon of remembrance and celebration, including refreshments and entertainment.
