Ash Commemorates VE Day

/in News/by Clerk

Heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in the Ash VE Day 80 celebrations! The day was beautifully marked by:   

  • The Proclamation read out at the War Memorial as the Union Jack flag was raised 
  • A stunning floral display by St Nicholas Church flower arrangers 
  • A striking knitted poppy display by Ash with Westmarsh WI at the War Memorial.   
  • A photography exhibition by Ash Heritage Society, complemented by delicious tea and cake at St Nicholas Church.   
  • Community singing at Pound Corner, creating a poignant tribute.   
  • The church bells ringing at 18:30, culminating in the special ‘firing of the bells’, where all bells sound simultaneously instead of in sequence.   

Plans are already underway for VJ Day 80, taking place on 15 August —stay tuned for details!
