🇬🇧 VE Day Assembly from Father Andrew (and Father Edwards)

A wonderful assembly from two Newton Heath rectors! You may wonder what that means. Take a look and reflect on the meaning of the momentous day 75 years ago when the war in Europe ended.

Many millions celebrated the end of the fighting against Germany whilst remembering that many of their loved ones would not come home and thousands were still fighting against Japan. The end of the second world war would come on the 15th August 1945 and is known as VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day).

Thank you Father Andrew for telling us about that day and also the lessons we can take from the examples set by our ancestors, some of whom are still here with us today.
