Kiss Me Honey Honey, Kiss Me!

A huge sculpture in HM Dockyard Portsmouth, based on the photograph taken on VJDay by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a U.S. Navy sailor embracing and kissing a total stranger.

Also one for new song title, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JrfMsfnVbw , people uniforms and six word story

Great shot of the sailor and his sweetheart.

@wakelys it is quite incongruous alongside The Victory

That's rather delightful

I’m glad to know they commemorating that moment. So much relief for awhile.

Awesome - thanks for including the link to see the size of the statue - and I never knew they were strangers - always thought they were a couple!

[Carole Sandford]

That’s a great statue & huge! Nice capture.

Great! I thought it was the one in Sarasota at first! I must pay this a visit if we are ever down there 😁
