Description
Ruth Barnwell, a 101-year-old British veteran of the Women's Royal Naval Service (Wrens), recalls how she found out about Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) via a friend of hers. "She came out of the storeroom singing her heart out", she says. On Monday, Britain kicks off four days of events marking 80 years since the end of World War II in Europe. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
