SEAFORD, 1st May 2020 – Seaford Town Council is pleased to announce that it will continue to mark the 75th Anniversary of VE day on the 8th May by providing the local community with an innovative virtual community commemoration on Seaford Town Council’s Facebook page and website.
Due to the current difficult times we are facing, local events planned for the weekend of the 8th May have been cancelled, sadly this includes wreath laying at the War Memorial (in accordance with Government guidelines and advice from the national VE Day 75 organisers and the Royal British Legion). The national event has been postponed until 15th August.
A dedicated webpage has been added to the Town Council’s website which will continue to grow throughout the week with links and videos providing activities and ideas to involve the local community in this virtual commemoration. This will include a special poster for families to colour in and display in windows (created by local artist and shop owner, Onneke) as well craft ideas provided by SCIP (Seaford Contemporary Illustrators & Printmakers).
The Town Council is looking forward to marking this momentous occasion together.
