A dance club formed entirely of OAPs celebrated VJ day in style.
The Henry Samuel Dance Club, formed by Maisie Hill with husband Henry, of Nipsells Chase, Mayland, more than 20 years ago.
Mrs Hill, now 94, said the weekly group, which meets at Henry Samuel Hall, Steeple Road, celebrated the 50th, 60th and 70th anniversary of VE Day and wanted to commemorate the 70th anniversary of VJ Day as well.
On Friday, the group, which ranges in age from 72 to 94, celebrated with dancing and red, white and blue decorations.
Mrs Hill said: “It’s important because I have lived through it and some of the other have done the same and it isn’t something you forget."
