VE Day 80th anniversary commemorations and celebrations were united across the ages in the villages of Orsett and Horndon on the Hill today (Thursday, 8 May).

In Orsett pupils from the village primary school joined adults at a short service at the village war memorial organised by Chadwell branch of the Royal British Legion.

Helpers served up VE Day treats in Horndon.

And in neighbouring Horndon villagers came together for a VE day afternoon tea and singalong at the Methodist Hall.
