In pictures: Little Shelford residents turn out for VE Day 80 street party

Little Shelford residents held a special VE Day 80th anniversary picnic ‘street party’ in the car park at the Side Quest pub in the village on Monday (5 May).

There was also a 1940s-themed fancy dress competition for all ages.

Parish councillor David Jones, who organised the event with David Munro, said: “It went very well; by the end of the afternoon, we’d had about 180 people.

“Some came early, a lot more came later when the weather looked up.

“There were lots of complimentary comments about the fact we’d done something for the 80th, and it was great in particular to see so many families there.

“Events like this help with community cohesiveness.”
