The BBC are planning a Songs of Praise VE80 Special and would be interested in talking to veterans and/or anyone who has memories of VE day in 1945. It may be “I was there”, “I missed it because I was deployed elsewhere” or it was a difficult day because it brought into sharp focus a person’s loss when everyone else was celebrating. The plan, as it stands, is that they will be filming in Basingstoke on 24th March.
Anyone, veteran or otherwise, who would be interested in being a part of that programme should contact SONT. We will forward appropriate expressions of interest to the BBC.
