To mark the anniversary, Sir Lindsay recreated the switching on, accompanied by Chelsea Pensioners John Morris, 103, and Tony Hunt, 85.Mr Hunt was seven years old on VE (Victory in Europe) day and recalled his memories of blackout regulations being lifted.

"One minute we were making sure the blinds were down and diving into air-raid shelters for safety in the dark because the sirens were sounding – the next, cars and buses had their headlights on, and it was a different world.'We had street parties, played cricket in the streets, and families were reunited – it was a very special time."Mr Morris joined the Army at the age of 17 and during the war served as an anti-aircraft gunner in the Royal Artillery.

He later joined the Raiding Support Regiment and fought in Italy and Yugoslavia.Sir Lindsay said it was "an incredible privilege to recreate such a symbolic moment in our history, with two Armed Forces veterans who remember what it was like to realise that peace was returning after six long years at war.

A mayor is expecting "a bit of chafing" as he cycles from St Neots in Cambridgeshire to St Neot in Cornwall for charity, while going in some way to help repair an ancient rift.Richard Slade is undertaking the roughly 300-mile (480km) journey over the bank holiday weekend.

He said the two namesakes had a long history, as the legend goes that Cambridgeshire residents travelled to Cornwall 1,000 years ago and stole the bones of a saint - Saint Neot - causing a "fractious divide".The ride is one of several fundraising efforts the St Neots mayor is making in the hope of raising £10,000 for local theatre groups in the town, which he said needed support.
