EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the jubilant atmosphere of a VE Day street party in Lyon Street, Bognor on 8 May 1945. The image showcases the resilience and unity of the local community as they celebrate the end of World War Two. In the background, we can see St Johns Church standing tall, symbolizing hope and faith during these challenging times. The cleared site of the Sudley Road bombing serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships endured by this seaside town during wartime. It is a testament to their strength that they were able to come together and find joy amidst such destruction. Preserved in West Sussex Record Office's L Alouette Collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history through Frank Lalouette's lens. Lalouette's talent for capturing raw emotions shines through in this snapshot, allowing us to feel connected to those who lived through this momentous occasion. As we reflect on this image today, it serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by previous generations for our freedom. This photograph is not just about Bognor Regis or World War Two; it represents countless communities across Britain celebrating peace after years of turmoil
