Street party celebration
Paisley Daily Express
|May 17, 2025
Erskine Home hosted a special VE Day celebration to honour the service and sacrifice of veterans with a 1940s-style street party.
Veterans, families and staff gathered at the home in Bishopton on Thursday, May 8 to enjoy entertainment, afternoon tea and to share their memories of the Second World War and the relief they felt when it ended.
When Prime Minister Winston Churchill addressed the nation on May 8, 1945, and declared the end of war, celebrations got underway across the United Kingdom.
After years of war, rationing, blackouts and sirens, the nation burst into spontaneous joy. Streets bloomed with bunting and flags, villages buzzed and cities came alive.
Erskine Home recreated the joyful spirit of the 1940s by putting up decorations from the era including flags, hats and banners.
One staff member said: “It took us three days to make the place look this fantastic.”
