VE Day celebrations through the eyes of blind navy veteran Les
May 03, 2025
|Yorkshire Evening Post
A blind war veteran from Leeds is the star of a military charity's campaign to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Les Sunter, 99, from Rothwell, is starring in the campaign from Blind Veterans UK, the national charity for vision-impaired ex-service men and women.
The charity's campaign After the Darkness features a striking image of Les coming out of the darkness and into the light, a powerful metaphor to represent the end of nearly six years of warfare in Europe.
It prompts people to experience VE Day through Les's eyes by visiting blindveterans.org.uk and reading his story.
The two digital screens in Leeds will display Les's advert in the build up to VE Day between May 6-8.
Both screens are in York Road on the way into Leeds city centre from the east.
Royal Navy veteran Les remembers the drunken revelry on VE Day, and the trepidation about Japan.
