60th Anniversary VE & VJ Day Celebration - Project
Project overview
Bedford Borough Council will use a grant to organise a series of events aimed at celebrating the important role of Bedford during the War. It was at the heart of the build up to D-Day, the centre of Britain's spy network and the region to which the BBC was evacuated during the Blitz. A carnival style event is being planned to both commemorate this role and to celebrate over 60 years of peace.
