I spent the weekend at the Woodhall Spa 1940s Festival, a celebration of all that went on in war time Britain, it takes over the whole town, with all sorts of events such as, living history displays, wartime military and civilian vehicles, wartime type dances, concerts and singers, fly past by WWII aircraft, and lots of people dress up in wartime outfits/uniforms.

@simta Спасибо, Татьяна, это было очень интересно выходные верхний левый образ, который я взял, потому что я думал, что вы были бы заинтересованы, чтобы видеть, что мы не забываем наших российских союзников, когда мы отмечаем войну, они являются гражданами России, работающих в Великобритании.
