VE Day: Lancashire vet recalls 'birds singing after ceasefire'

A World War Two veteran recalls hearing the birds singing after ceasefire was called on VE Day 75 years ago.

Lewis Banham, from Weir, near Bacup, Lancashire, was a dispatch rider with the 44th Infantry Brigade of the 15th Scottish Infantry Division in Schwerin, Germany.

He said it was "like a millstone off your neck knowing I'd come through the war and that I'd be going home to see my wife again".
