I like this image I found on google of a celebratory Bonfire in Toronto, Canada.
The little boy in the center cleary doesnt like fireworks! hehe
I can imagine what a wonderful day this must have been. Even for the German people, I bet everyone was so happy the war was finally over.
Here is another image that I found which is not so far from my home of Coventry, in Selly Oak, Birmingham.

I wish communities still got along like they did in the past, I do not know my neighbours very well back home.
Obviously student living is different, we all live close by and know each other, which is lovely :)
During the Second World War Coventry was largely destroyed in air raid bombings, most notably the Cathedral, here it is in ruins.
and this is the Cathedral I recognise. The spire still remains and you can climb it on special open days, it's a log way up!
The reason Coventry was a target in during the war, was because of its many car factories (which were converted to making aircraft during the war)
I might write a bit more about Coventry some other day, I really am quite fond of it :)
bye for now x
