Residents in Lampeter are being encouraged to take part in a virtual VE Day on Friday.

This Friday is the 75th anniversary of VE or Victory in Europe Day.

With current lockdown rules in place, several street parties and other events planned to mark the historic event have had to be cancelled.

But Lampeter Town Council wants people from the safety of their own home or on their doorstep to raise a glass at 3pm.

The council wants people to take a selfie of them raising a glass ’to those who gave so much’ and send them to the town council so a short video can be compiled.

Photos can be sent by email to town clerk Meryl Thomas (01570 423880 or 07814 024188) at [email protected]
