Pauline Green鈥檚 Story

Pauline Green from Middlesbrough was 9 on VE Day, and remembers a party atmosphere in the Linthorpe area of the town.

"I can remember everyone dancing and singing 鈥 I ended up at the Milk Bar on Linthorpe Road. I was on the balcony playing records while people were dancing in the street 鈥 people just went mad!"

Pauline's has a photo of her husband, John, at a street party 鈥 he was just 4-and-a-half years old.
