The Channel Islands will be celebrating their Liberation from German forces in World War II with a five week festival from 3rd April to 11th May 2015. This is the 70th anniversay of their Liberation.
Liberation Timeline - 9th May Guernsey and Jersey garrisons surrender
10th May Sark liberated
12th May Herm liberated
16th May Alderney liberated
The Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles to fall into enemy hands.
Jersey and Guernsey have a joint venture to commemorate and celebrate their shared history. Events include a day long carnival, re-enactments, the opening up of wartime bunkers and historic towers and of course proudly hanging their flags out for Liberation Day.
Each island still displays many visible signs of Germany's five year occupation in the form for fortifications and bunkers across the coastline aswell as underground tunnels and hospitals.
