A new exhibition commemorates the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
"What We Wore During the War" showcases Second World War military and civilian uniforms at the Shropshire Museums Collections Centre in Ludlow.
It also features wreckage from a fatal aircraft crash and shrapnel found in the Shropshire countryside, reflecting on the efforts of the wartime generation.
The free exhibition opened on Friday, May 9, during Ludlow Library's open hours.
It will run until December 2025.
The exhibition includes military uniforms from the British Army, RAF, and Navy, alongside civilian clothing worn by the Red Cross, Women’s Land Army, and Air Raid Precautions units.
A model of the HMS Ludlow is set to be displayed from Wednesday, May 14, to support local fundraising efforts to conserve the Ensign flag from the HMS Ludlow.
Visitors are invited to "step back in time, reflect on the efforts of ordinary people during an extraordinary period and remember those who secured our freedom from tyranny."
All are welcome to attend this reflection on history.
