Suburb film. My late Father was one of the Liberators on that day, he piloted one of the DUKW's (duck). Unfortunately I can't tell if he's on that film. He returned every year until his death for liberation week ,and it is still carried on by myself now. They made some great friends over the years.

Seeing that motorcycle being unloaded made me wonder? Could this be the very motorcycle that ran over and killed my family's beloved water spaniel "spot"? There is great irony in spot's story, as my Grandmother risked her life to take him back from the Germans. Too long a yarn to write here. Great bit of film. Thank you.

I know the Germans confiscated cameras and movie cameras. Was this film kept through the occupation then used in 1945 or was it brought from the mainland?

The film and camera must have been hidden away. There is one 400 ft reel (approx 20 mins) of footage taken during the course of the five years of the Occupation that features family around the house and garden, concluding with this footage of Liberation Day.
