Film shows how city marked VE Day

Hull History Centre is marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two with a film showing archive footage of celebrations in the city.

VE Day (Victory in Europe) followed the unconditional surrender of German forces to the Allies on 8 May 1945.

Archivists said it was an opportunity to see how the people of Hull marked "this momentous day".

There will also be a display of original photographs and documents from the time, with a number of free screenings taking place on 3 May.

German bombing raids on Hull killed 1,200 people, injured 3,000 and made more than 150,000 homeless. About 87,000 houses were damaged.

The National Picture Theatre on Beverley Road was badly damaged during a German air raid in 1941. The building is now being turned into a heritage centre.
