In Fenstanton, the Huntingdonshire Amateur Radio Society were busy communicating with the world.

Mervin Foster, chairman of the group, said: “I communicate with Morse Code around the world and on VE day I was talking to Switzerland, Sweden, Greece, Germany, France, Belgium and a couple in the UK.

“Amateur radio is about keeping in contact, we have 90 members in the society, since the pandemic began we have a radio net to keep in contact with everybody.

“If there is someone who needs help, we can contact them. It is a great way for people to feel less isolated.”

Nigel Fenner, from Fen Drayton has put up posters outside his house for VE day.

“I was part of the sub committee, preparing for the VE day celebrations that was originally going to be held in the village hall.

“But due to the Coronavirus pandemic I hung the posters outside my house.

“My dad got them in 1966, from The Daily Telegraph, they produced a big print line of these.”
