VE Day 75 years on

In the United States of America, the victory was tempered with the recent death of President Roosevelt, who had led his country through the war years. His successor, Harry S. Truman, dedicated the day to Roosevelt and ordered that flags be kept at half-mast – as part of the 30-day mourning period.

Despite this, there were still scenes of great rejoicing in America: in New York, 15,000 police were mobilised to control the huge crowds that had massed in Times Square.

VE Day 75 years on

In Paris, huge numbers of people flocked to the centre of the city to celebrate.

On the Champs Elysees they were singing ‘It’s a Long Way to Tipperary,’. In the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe in the Place de l'Etoile, there was hardly any place to breathe and no place at all to move.
