Germany officially surrendered.
Strange to think everything was so ordered & formal in those days.
Here, sign this receipt please.
Could or would that happen now?
Would probably just announce it on Facebook.

The Channel Islands were liberated after Germany surrendered.
I'm guessing this rather splendid photograph was taken in the "Hohlgangsanlage" (thank you, google) caves & tunnels that the Germans had built.

The tunnels remain in place to this day, & are a War Museum & popular tourist attraction now. I visited them some years ago, & they are quite something.

These two chaps were up on drugs charges, & the nation was aghast - ridiculously long hair, drugs, loud music, shocking, absolutely shocking.
Little did we know how much music was about to help change the world.
Drugs charges
, wow. Those two will never last the distance.

Nearly 50 years later, both somehow survived their lifestyle. Mick is now Sir Mick, & both are aged 71.

Eventually, Gerry Adams was to achieve the status of Statesman.
Amazingly, in the late 80's, a law was passed in the United Kingdom which forbade his voice being heard on Radio or TV.
