On Thursday this week (8th May), we will gather to celebrate end of the Second World War in Europe.

80 years ago it was a time of hope which sprang out of the sadness of loss for those who had sacrificed their lives for the cause of peace, justice and love,

We will gather to remember, to give thanks and to look forward in hope to a better world for all people, where all people may live in peace.

Everyone is most welcome to come along and take part.

On Sunday 11 May Ilfracombe people will once again be gathering on Capstone Hill to create a LIVING LETTERS photo as they have done many times over the years to commemorate special times in history.

This is for the 80th anniversary of VE Day and you will see the letters cut into the hill before then. We appreciate VE Day is the 8 May but many local people will be at work and so we have arranged this for the following Sunday to allow as many as possible to join us.

All are welcome to participate, locals, visitors, young and old!

Please arrive at around 11.45 on 11 May for a photo at 12 noon.

We look forward to seeing you!
