Throughout
the day, everyone joined in to help in the preparations and celebrations. Chris
Smart, Colin Ashton and friends had made and set up the beacon on the Pill Box
which stood along the pathway of Cherry Hill and would be part of a chain of
beacons around Britain to mark V.E.Day.
It was a great day in the Village too, with street parties and a social
evening in the Village Hall, ending with the beacon being lit on Cherry Hill
which burned fiercely, lighting up the night sky. With the church bells ringing
all around, it was truly a day to remember.
