Public celebrations on hold
Cllr Michael Paler has worked closely with the East Cowes VE Celebration Crafters on this project and together with Town Councillors and residents, has been working very hard, for over a year, on plans to celebrate this special day in our calendar.
Sadly, the current situation, has meant that this has been put on hold until next May.
VE Day will be marked by the Town Council with the laying of wreaths at the East Cowes War Memorial and the Town Hall.
