I partied outside Buckingham Palace on VE Day

A great-grandmother who partied outside Buckingham Palace on VE Day says people will "never understand" what the day was like.

Margaret Johns, 99, was working as a nurse in London when Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allies, ending almost six years of conflict in Europe, on 8 May 1945.

Mrs Johns caught the Tube to central London and partied outside the palace, staying up late into the night.

"They should have given us the day off the next day," said Mrs Johns, from Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire.
