EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a momentous day in history - the VE celebrations on 19 May 1945, captured by the talented photographer George Garland. The image showcases Hampers Green, Petworth, adorned with an explosion of vibrant colors that fill the streets with joy and patriotism. Union Jack flags flutter proudly in the breeze, while bunting gracefully drapes across every corner, creating a festive atmosphere that is impossible to resist. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of time, it becomes evident that this picture immortalizes a street party like no other. The village community has come together to commemorate the end of World War II and celebrate their hard-fought victory over adversity. Smiling faces line both sides of the road as they revel in this historic moment; their eyes filled with relief and gratitude for peace finally restored. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of jubilant villagers but also in its ability to transport us back to an era where unity prevailed amidst global turmoil. It serves as a poignant reminder of how communities can rally together during times of hardship and emerge stronger than ever before. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Garland Collection, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into our shared past - one filled with resilience, camaraderie, and hope for brighter days ahead.
