The church is planning involvement for the school at church in the morning, and we are also planning a VE Day garden party for the afternoon.
There will be a civic service to commemorate VE Day at 5.30pm on Thursday 8th May backed by Barrow Town Council, with civic dignitaries and representatives of the armed forces – air, sea and land. We believe there will be a parade from the town hall to the church where they will be welcomed by the bells as they approach the church.
Finally to follow the service the bells will ring out again for a quarter peal (about 1 hour) that is part of the Nationwide celebrations for the end of the war in Europe (VE Day Bellringing at 6.30pm).
