Liberation Day 2010
DOWNLOAD LIBERATION DAY PROGRAMME
Sunday 9 May 2010 will mark the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Guernsey from the occupying German forces. WW2 was a defining part of Guernsey's recent history. It brought a lot of change to the fabric of the island due to some people, especially children, being evacuated to the UK and only returning to Guernsey five years later.
A weekend of live entertainment, music, outdoor singing, dancing and eating is planned for the weekend of Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th May 2010 to mark the special 65th anniversary of the historic day of 9th May 1945 – the day that Guernsey rejoiced once again in the word "freedom".
The theme for the 65th anniversary is "Remember and Celebrate" – two very appropriate words to remember the ultimate price that so many British servicemen paid to keep Britain free of invasion by the Germans, to remember the hardship that Guernsey men and women endured during the long years of the Occupation from 1940 to 1945 and to celebrate, each year, why freedom is a state of being that is priceless.
This website will be constantly updated over the weeks and months leading up to the weekend of Saturday 8 Sunday 9 May 2010 so do remember to visit the site regularly.
