Crowds celebrate 80th anniversary of VE Day in Buckley
VE Day marks the end of the Second World War in Europe and the surrender of Nazi Germany, which was announced on May 8, 1945.
People came together to mark the occasion with a host of activities.
Lord Barry Jones, from Flintshire, opened the event, which saw the Royal Buckley band perform and 'Sir Roger Blighty' doing a fly past.
Representatives from the Armed Forces were present, alongside the Royal British Legion.
1940s musical performances and WWII era style costumes were a theme, with food and drinks stalls provided.
People were dancing in the streets as the town came together to celebrate the Allied victory of 1945.
Andy White, Buckley town events manager, told Leader Live they had had a "fantastic response", with the event "well organised" and "crowds turning out en masse".
