Sproughton Parish Council will use the grant to fund a series of events aimed at celebrating and commemorating the 60th Anniversary of VE/VJ Day. The first event will be a VE Day concert in the style of a 1940's live broadcast. This will utilise archive material such as speeches and period music, along with sketches that reflect life on the home front and a number of interviews with veterans from the Home Guard, WRVS and Land Army.
