V-E Day Parade, Woodbridge, 1945

This week’s Vintage Vaughan image is of a Victory-Europe (V-E) day parade in Woodbridge on May 8, 1945. The parade assembled at the Public School on Kipling Avenue and ended at the Memorial Arena. The afternoon included sports of all kinds with an excellent band in attendance, and in the evening everyone gathered around a bonfire, sang songs and danced.
