There was much disappointment that the Red Arrows did not make their flight over Shepperton to mark the 75th anniversary since VJ Day. But the celebrations contin-ued at The Bell Inn in Old Charlton Lane with a themed afternoon and evening. Sev-eral visitors had made the effort to dress in 40s era outfits and there was a display of WW2 paraphernalia, including siren, out-side the pub. There was a prize for best dressed and later in the evening the crowd enjoyed a WW2 themed quiz with a bottle of prosecco to the winning team. With 20/20, the ‘Mums and Dads Army’ proved worthy winners! (But I guess when the head of the team was Nick Pollard, it was a bit of shoe in!) Money was being raised for Combat Stress.
