Students at Barnsley College have paid tribute to the generation who lived through World War II with heartfelt thanks, as a memorial garden commemorating the 80th anniversary of VE Day was officially unveiled at the Old Mill Lane Campus today.
Gathering alongside teachers and members of the Royal British Legion's Churchfield Branch, students revealed a beautifully designed garden planted with red, white, and blue flowers, symbolising the Union Flag and the enduring spirit of unity, resilience, and remembrance. The garden forms part of a nationwide initiative to mark eight decades since Victory in Europe Day, which brought an end to the war in Europe in 1945.
