VE Day was celebrated on 8th May 1945, after Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio that the war in Europe had come to an end. This emotional news sparked celebrations across the country, with many taking to the streets for spontaneous parties.
The team at the home has been hard at work organising their own special commemorative event, which will see residents and guests enjoy an afternoon of delicious food, entertainment and dancing as they embrace the spirit of the 1940s.
At Murrayside, doors will open from 11am-2.30pm. The morning will begin with the lighting of lanterns on the home’s balcony, accompanied by the stirring sound of a piper. The celebration continues into the afternoon with a live performance from Sarah Sings featuring classic vintage tunes.
Suzanne Welsh, Home Manager at Murrayside, said: “We’re passionate about building and maintaining relationships within our community here at Murrayside, so we’re pleased to be opening our doors to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day for a special day of sharing memories.”
Murrayside has been designed to deliver the very best standards of care and to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence. The home has been configured into a series of neighbourhoods to helpfacilitate the creation of close-knit communities and encourage social interaction among the residents. There is also plenty of space, both indoors and out, for relaxation and recreation.
