HOW sad that Weymouth did not celebrate VE Day on May 8 or over the weekend. We just had television to show us the spontaneous fun other places were having, in House Guards Parade and Westminster Abbey where the nation paid homage.

There was a Glenn Miller concert at the Pavilion, his music was wonderful and helped to keep us singing.

We were always so good at parties; do you remember the trawler races?

This year was special; in 2025 there will be few who will remember.
