A Portsmouth pub marked the anniversary of VE Day with a day of entertainment - and raised more than £400 in the process.
The Ship Anson on The Hard in Portsea is famed for its association with the navy.
On Friday it organised a day of entertainment on the 81st anniversary of VE Day with performers including singer Michaela Marie, the Rocks N’Groynes shanty band, and soul singers Stuart and Laura.
Landlord Terry Rigg said: “Amazing turn out for VE Day 81 - the Ship Anson was rocking. A huge honour to welcome Kirsten and our veterans, service personnel and locals on board the Ship Anson.”
A statement from the pub on Facebook said: “We are pleased to say over £400 was raised for our favourite Charity Children with Cancer UK. Thank you all. Thank you to everyone that came down for VE Day to our amazing team and acts that performed we have a great day and we hope you did too.”
