British actor Patricia Routledge, 96, has given an interview on the BBC television broadcast. On May 8, Britain celebrated a victory day in memory of the end of World War II in Europe. This year, the end of the war became 80 years old.

– I’ll never forget it. We had been very difficult due to the bombing of Merseys, partly because the ports were located in Liverpool and the large shipbuilding dock of Cammall Lair was on the Birkenhead side. There was a lot of traffic along the river as supplies were imported and warships were sent.

Routledge describes May 8, 1945, unforgettable.

– I remember we went to school and morning gathering. We were given that day free. Later in the evening, hundreds of people gathered on the beach to socialize, sing and shout the cheer cries. Just to be together. It was wonderful, the actor says.

Routledge says he wrote letters to the Norwegian minerall soldiers at school.

– We wrote to them and their families. We sent small gifts and knitwear to their young children, Routledge recalls.

The school wanted students to understand what happened in the world and what kind of service the soldiers were doing.
