Veterans Celebrations begin!

Nottingham City Council's programme for celebrating National Veterans Day began on Bank Holiday Monday 5 May, with a 1940s Knees-Up at The Museum of Nottingham Life at Brewhouse Yard. Visitors were invited to come along to relive the atmosphere on the homefront during the 1940s war years. It was a fantastic event which was attended by over 2500 people. The sun was shining and the day was enjoyed by all, young and old.
