The Mercury Celebrates VE Day In Style With Music And Dancing!

The Mercury Shopping Centre in Romford marked VE Day in memorable fashion with a heartwarming musical celebration that brought together members of the local community for a morning of remembrance and joy.

Held from 11am to 1pm, the event featured a live performance stage with entertainment by local singing duo In 2 the Blue and students from Hylands Primary School. Shoppers, community groups, and visitors enjoyed a medley of popular songs spanning from the 1940s to present day.

The celebration welcomed attendees from The Mercury’s Breakfast Club and local Age UK group Di’s Diamonds, as well as passersby who stopped to enjoy the festivities. Union Jacks, tea, and nostalgic melodies created a vibrant atmosphere in honour of Victory in Europe Day.
