Hatfield couple go all out with VE Day decorations

Beverley and Austin Bradley have been decorating their home every year in honour of this monumental day. 

Beverley, 51, explained that she and her husband both have a long line of military relatives, including grandparents who fought in WWII.

This year the couple includes a sign especially for the 80th anniversary (Image: Beverley Bradley) The decorations have had a great response from the community, with Beverley saying: "People appreciate the effort we have gone to; we have had people of all nationalities stop and admire the decorations."

As people admire Beverley and Austin's VE Day-themed house, it serves as an educational experience for young children to ask their parents questions about the war and VE Day.

Beverley continued: "We want to celebrate our country and we hope our children will continue this tradition after we are gone, as we will keep it going until we die."

Her grandmother experienced the bombing in Liverpool during the Blitz, and Austin's father saw a German plane crash down when he was 10 years old.
