The Canadian Pacific steam locomotive leaves Alresford station on the Watercress Line with the 11am VE Day 80 train to Alton

Steam trains, bunting and a ukulele band were to the fore as VE Day 80 was celebrated at Alresford station on the Watercress Line.
There were trains pulled by the Canadian Pacific steam locomotive running throughout the day, while a diesel shuttle service ferried passengers to and from the Alton mainline station.
The Ukes of Wallington provided musical entertainment on their ukuleles, while people dressed to party like it's 1945 added to the historic feel of the occasion.
