Islands gear up for 74th Liberation Day celebrationspublished at 08:15 British Summer Time 9 May 2019
BBC Radio JerseyToday makes 74 years since British soldiers arrived on the Channel Islands to end the five years of occupation.
Liberation Day will be celebrated in various events across the islands.
On Jersey people who were here during that time will enjoy a special breakfast at the Town Hall before making their way to the traditional service at Liberation Square.
Young cadets will re-enact the moment when the soldiers of Force 135 landed at the harbour and made their way through the crowds to raise the Union flag at the Pomme d'Or hotel, and Fort Regent.
Meanwhile Guernsey's Bailiff Sir Richard Collas, who will be attending a number of events including the parade and church service, said it was an honour to represent the island in his role on Liberation Day.
