Listen "VE DAY 80th Anniversary - what does it mean to young people?"
Episode Synopsis
As we celebrate the 80th Anniversary of Victory in Europe on 8 May 1945 - we hear from children at Laxey and The Dhoon Schools, and students from Castle Rushen High School and Ramsey Grammar School who have all been researching past generations of their families who were involved in the 2nd World War. What's their reaction to the stories they've discovered?There's also some wonderful archive material from Laxey School 30 years ago - and a treasured diary tells the story of a very different celebration on another Island.Some of this material has been taken from the VE Day 80th Anniversary Concert recorded in the Villa Marina Royal Hall on Thursday 8 May 2025. The complete Concert is available as a podcast here in Manx Radio's Island Life Series - Specials.
