June’s Memories of VE Day in Hednesford

Today we commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe and VE Day.
Earlier this week our Community Officer, Matt Johnson, was privileged to meet local Hednesford resident June Pickerill.
June was 6 years old on VE Day and remembers some of the events happening in Hednesford on VE Day night including a huge bonfire and a piano being burnt outside the Anglesey Hotel!
We hvae captured some of June’smemories on film and a short video of June’s memories which will be posted in the next few days.
A huge Thank You to June, and your daughter, for sharing your memories with us.
