Mural to mark 80 years since Jersey's Liberation
A mural to mark 80 years since Jersey's Liberation has officially been unveiled in St Helier.
The artwork can be seen on the side of a building owned by construction firm Building Renovations Ltd on Great Union Road.
The mural, which shows the silhouette of a soldier reaching for the hand of a child, was painted on top of the previous artwork which marked 75 years of liberation.
At the unveiling on Friday morning, Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey, Jerry Kyd, said it was "such an important milestone for the island".
There are also set to be a number of events on 9 May to mark the anniversary.
Kyd added: "It's a really momentous year. So many people across the island still remember that day in May in 1945.
"Jersey's still very community based, we all have a really sensitive side when we remember our history.
"Everyone walking and driving past looking at it is a good reminder of next month."
