Bishop Rachel joins a group of people who remember the celebrations around VE Day in 1945, and interviews them via a Zoom call. The recording, made during the 75th anniversary of VE Day, explores stories from members of our Diocesan worshipping communities.
Discussing the crucial role of light, peace and hope in a place of darkness, Bishop Rachel asks questions about the extraordinary experiences people had around the time of the end of the Second World War.
One participant comments, "... in the war you were always with other people, whereas now you can't be. It's the one thing you want, and you can't be with anybody else. That, I think, is much harder than facing any kind of danger with people, with friends, comrades."
