Kingswell Road in Kingsthorpe was closed on Sunday afternoon (May 4) to allow for a street party to take place.
Although VE Day falls on Thursday (May 8), some communities held celebrations over the weekend, with some planned for next weekend too.
The celebrations are held to commemorate the 80th anniversary VE Day, marking the end of World War II in Europe on May 8, 1945.
This significant milestone provides an opportunity to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom, as well as the resilience of communities during the war.
