Malta celebrates Victory 1945 (Alfred Vella Gera)

Compared to how I remember the celebration, the above is very placid.

Very interesting. Care to share your memories?

[@paulpaulc4523]

erezija, we lived at the top of Santa Lucia St when the war ended. We could see all the battle ship in Marxamxet horbour , there wasn't room for another ship, launch or any size boat. The hooting of their horns, the sirens, the fire crackers, the people on the bastions cheering and hugging each other, was something to behold. I was 7 years old the but the memories are instilled in me .
