The atmosphere is electric with jubilation and relief as World War II comes to an end. The photograph, taken by an English photographer from the 20th century, is part of a private collection.

The Mall stretches out behind them towards Victoria Memorial and Buckingham Palace stands proudly at its end. This iconic location becomes even more significant on this day as it symbolizes victory and peace for Britain.
