For the impending 80th Anniversary of Victory In Europe Day, I share this fascinating colour film of the VE Day celebrations held in London on 8th May 1945. I have edited it together for you using rare original colour cine footage. It is not colourised.
The soundtrack is Irving Berlin's satirical song about Hitler entitled "When That Man Is Dead And Gone", sung by the wonderful Al Bowlly, who tragically never got to see the end of the war, as he was killed a few weeks after recording this song when a Luftwaffe parachute mine exploded outside his London flat.

Wow. This speaks volume. #epic. Memories of my teenage years growing up in London. Still the same even in my 30s. Some things don't change despite the awareness.
