Description: | Two London Transport double-decker buses have just passed through Admiralty Arch, preceded by agricultural vehicles on low-loaders. Troops line the route and a huge crowd under a large Union Jack watches the procession. Men stand on statue plinths to get a better view.
This celebration took place almost a year after the war ended in August 1945. Representatives of 30 of the victorious Allied countries gathered in London to march together. It was a national holiday, and almost two million people watched the parade. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Power and Politics Cityscape London at War | Temporal: | 8 Jun 1946 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Photographer : Topical Press | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
