People who survived Jersey's Occupation have attended Liberation Day celebrations at the town hall, as the island marks the 74th anniversary of being freed from Nazi rule.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is flying the Jersey flag at its headquarters in London today.
The MoJ is responsible for managing the
constitutional relationship between the UK government and the Crown
Dependencies.
Minister with responsibility for Crown Dependency
business within Whitehall, Lord Keen of Elie said he was "pleased" to
be flying the flag to mark the island’s Liberation Day and "to celebrate
the important relationship that exists between the UK and the Crown
Dependencies".
Jersey’s Minister for external relations, senator Ian Gorst said Liberation Day was the most important day
in the island's calendar and "the MoJ’s decision to mark it in this way demonstrates
the close understanding we have developed over many years”.

Islands gear up for 74th Liberation Day celebrations
BBC Radio Jersey
Today 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.
