VE Day 80th Anniversary Exhibit

We are seeking to hear the community’s stories and give them a voice as part of our VE Day exhibit at the Minster. We have taken public submissions of wartime photos of family members, neighbourhoods and communities and will show them off in Hull’s most historic building. With collaboration from Hull Central Library, Hull History Centre and Yorkshire Film Archives, this aims to be a collective celebration of the end of the Second World War as it celebrates its 80th Anniversary.

Canon Dominic Black (Vicar of Hull Minster: “This VE Day celebration is a special one to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the War. Nowadays, there are very few people alive that remember it firsthand, though its aftermath was felt for decades afterwards. It is the celebration of the end of a war that was felt as much at home as it was on the battlefield, and is especially important to Hull, one of the heaviest bombed cities in Britain.”
