At 3pm on 8 May 1945, Prime Minister, Winston Churchill announced that the war in Europe would end at midnight. London erupted into a massive chorus of jubilation and celebration. Mr Churchill was greeted by huge cheering crowds wherever he went and the King was kept busy by a crowd outside Buckingham Palace who made him keep returning to the balcony to receive their accolades. Even his own daughters, escorted by Palace guards, joined the crowd in shouting for the King. All licensing laws in the capital were revoked for the evening and the celebrations went on well into the small hours.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the electrifying atmosphere in London on the historic night of May 8,1945. As the clock struck midnight, marking the end of World War II in Europe, Prime Minister Winston Churchill made a momentous announcement that ignited an outpouring of joy and relief throughout the city. The streets were filled with exuberant crowds who reveled in this long-awaited victory. In this particular snapshot frozen in time, late-night revellers can be seen celebrating with drinks in hand on the vibrant streets of London. Their faces are illuminated by smiles as they raise their glasses high to toast to peace and freedom. Amongst them, one person proudly displays the iconic V sign - a symbol synonymous with victory during wartime. The scene is emblematic of a nation united in jubilation after enduring years of hardship and sacrifice. It is a testament to resilience and camaraderie as strangers became friends through shared experiences and common purpose. As darkness enveloped London, licensing laws were suspended for one unforgettable evening, allowing festivities to continue well into the early hours. This photograph immortalizes not only a significant historical event but also serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for hope amidst adversity. George Greenwell's lens has captured an indelible moment from our collective memory - an image that encapsulates both celebration and gratitude for those who fought valiantly for peace during World War II.
