EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives captures the essence of Victory in Europe (VE Day) celebrations in Sheffield, Yorkshire, 1945. The image showcases a poignant moment during a thanksgiving service held at the city war memorial on this historic day. As news spread of the cessation of hostilities in Europe, citizens gathered to express their immense gratitude and relief for the end of World War II. The atmosphere is palpable with joy and unity as people from all walks of life come together to commemorate this significant milestone. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the emotions felt by those present; faces beaming with smiles, tears streaming down cheeks, and arms raised high in jubilation. Each individual represents a story of sacrifice, resilience, and hope amidst years filled with uncertainty. Sheffield's war memorial stands tall as a symbol of remembrance and tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. Surrounding it are floral tributes left by grateful citizens honoring their fallen heroes.
