Horncastle area residents came out in force on Friday afternoon (May 8) to celebrate the 75th anniversary of VE Day - from the safety of their own front gardens!

Due to the ongoing coronavirus lockdown, members of the public across the country were asked to mark the occasion with a ‘stay at home’ party on their porch, driveway, or garden.

Local residents made the most of the glorious sunshine this afternoon, and celebrated alongside their immediate family members - and often, their neighbours over the fence!

Freelance photographer John Aron took these photos - from a safe distance of course!
