Seaton Town Council would like to thank everyone who joined the various voluntary groups yesterday for the VE Day 80 commemorative events. From the flag-raising ceremony in the morning and the wonderful displays at the URC hall, to the afternoon singing in Windsor Gardens and the evening beacon lighting, the day brought the Seaton community together to honour and remember those who lost their lives during the Second World War.
These meaningful activities were only made possible through the collaborative hard work and dedication of many amazing individuals and groups. In no particular order, huge thanks goes to:
The Royal British Legion – for their continued commitment to ensuring Remembrance is honoured and taught to younger people.
Roy Vidler– for his time, craftsmanship, and patience in creating a beautiful tribute featuring 80 hand made wooden soldiers and to Bradfords Building Supplies for their generous donation of materials to help with this.
Seaton Museum – Laura Hewitt and her amazing team of volunteers created a truly engaging display of Seaton during WW2, which allowed people to share their stories and memories.
Seaton WI – Cathy Macbeth and her team provided the most delicious refreshments - the Deputy Clerk has never tasted a better quiche lorraine and, given how quickly he tucks into the office biscuits, she cannot believe that the Facilities Officer did not sample any of the cake!
Seaton Scale Modellers – for a fascinating display of aircraft, ships, and military vehicles. Please visit seatonscalemodellers.wordpress.com/ if you are interested in finding out more
Seaton Primary School – for creating the most wonderful bunting that decorated the church hall, for participating in a VE Day poster competition and for their beautiful singing in Windsor Gardens.
Shirley Austin – for sharing her amazing voice and helping to create such a wonderful atmosphere.
Sue Carter – for not only providing the venue but also ensuring that the day ran smoothly from start to finish.
@St Gregory's Church, Seaton are holding a VE Day flower festival until Tuesday 15th May from 9am to 3pm
If anyone has any photos of the beacon lighting ceremony, please feel free to send them to Jo at deputyclerk@seaton.gov.uk ☺️

What a great day was had sharing our models of ships, aircraft and vehicles that were developed and used through the six years of war. We had so many interesting visitors, from local veterans to school children, the enthusiasm shown in our War time history was infectious. Congratulations all for a great event! Should anyone be interested, Seaton Scale Modellers next display will be at the Seaton Model Show, hosted by the Seaton Lions in the Methodist Hall on Saturday 19th July. This will be an opportunity to revisit some of the WW2 models seen this week and others from the Cold War through to today's conflicts and probably a number of non-military models too 🙂 As shared above, further information on your local scale modelling group can be found here seatonscalemodellers.wordpress.com

Today, on VE Day, we honour the courage and sacrifice of all those who served and endured during World War Two, and whose contributions brought the conflict in Europe to an end on 8th May 1945.
May we continue to learn from their example and strive towards peace, resilience, and unity in our time.
To those of served and sacrificed so much for the hard-won peace, we salute you and give our deepest thanks and gratitude.
