EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment during the Victory Day service of Thanksgiving at Cathays Park in Cardiff, on the 16th of July, 1945. As World War II came to an end, young people from Cardiff gathered together, eagerly climbing aboard a lorry to gain a vantage point for witnessing this historic event. In their eyes shines both excitement and relief as they perch atop the vehicle's cargo bed. The lorry serves not only as transportation but also as a makeshift platform offering them an unobstructed view of the proceedings unfolding before them. Their youthful spirits are palpable; it is clear that they understand the significance of this day and want to be part of its commemoration. The atmosphere surrounding these jubilant individuals is one of celebration mixed with gratitude. The war had taken its toll on countless lives, yet here they stand resiliently united in their shared victory over adversity. This image encapsulates the spirit of resilience and hope that emerged from those tumultuous times. Preserved by Western Mail and Echo Copyright, this photograph transports us back to an era defined by sacrifice and triumph. It reminds us not only to honor those who fought bravely but also to cherish peace when it prevails against all odds.
