"Psyche's job, everyone's job, was to do the hard things that needed doing, trusting that somehow it would be well. It would not be, the Song reminded her, an easy hope. It was not a lazy summer morning hope. It was the sharp cut of ice, the depths of snow, the frozen night sky. It did not mean - it had never meant - that anyone escaped suffering. It had never meant that Psyche could not lose everything she cherished. But it was hope nonetheless. A hope that promised all evil, no matter how twisted, could and would be straightened back to good."

With the war in Europe ending officially 80 years ago next year on the 8th May 1945, these celebrations depicted here erupted all over Britain after nearly six years of war.

Amazingly with the deprivations of wartime rationing, streets and communities banded together baking cakes and making treats with what was available for a huge get together. London especially the East End and Docklands, had suffered like other major cities and towns around Britain from the Blitz, with many who survived forced out their homes and made homeless. But neather the less people kept calm and carried on with their heads held high and they deserved to let their hair down so to speak.

Of course the war was far from over in the Far East and it struggled on for another three months, with the war weary public and one British newspaper dubbing it the forgotten war. But in reality it was far from it for those serving or who had loved ones there. This film is generic of the the street parties that sprung up all over London in the Spring and early Summer of 1945. Have fun!...
