I recently found these pictures of victory day celebrations outside Buckingham palace 1945. its amazing, they have been in my family's possession for 12 years after a relative died.
hope this is the correct place to post these.

Nice original photos Denise , i've moved them from the Eastern Front photo section to here as it's more appropriate
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Thanks for posting them. I wonder if they date from "VE Day" or "VJ Day"?
Cheers, Ade.
on the back of them is written Buckingham Palace Victory Day celebrations. that is all. The person to have taken them was an English man , so i would with certainty assume VE day.
