With this year marking the 70th Anniversary of VE Day. This weekend Lincoln town held a wonderful 40's weekend. Being big lovers of all things vintage, wartime and essentially the old times, me, my mum and dad decided we'd go and see what it was all about.
The 40's event was held near the Lincoln Cathedral and Castle in the centre of the town. There was music, dancing, people dressed up, stalls selling home made cakes and bath bombs and soaps. My dad was particularly pleased with the old cars which were on show and some of the nice gentlemen let us sit in for a photo.
Found myself a soldier ;)
Shops were even dressed up to fit in with the theme, here's a clothes shop with vintage outfits in the window and the window is taped up. In the 40's they had to tape up their windows during the war to stop the glass from shattering everywhere.
There was a Dakota plane.
Fabulous weekend at Lincoln. It was a shame that the weather wasn't as good today as it was yesterday (Saturday) but it was brill and everyone looked amazing!
30th-31st May.
No edited photos here, they all have the beauty and grace of their own.
Hope you've enjoyed reading!
Let me know what you think, or if you know of any other events like this, I'd love to come!
