VE Day 80 years on: share your photos and memories

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • Yesterday - 13:51

If you or your family have memories, pictures and letters from VE Day, we would like to hear from you

On 8 May 1945 the second world war in Europe came to an end . , Though it was a day for celebration, for many who lost family and friends during the war, rejoicing was muted. It’s estimated that nearly 70 million people died as a direct consequence of the fighting , about two thirds of them were civilians.

If you or your friends and family have memories of the end of the second world war in Europe, we would like to hear from you. Do you have stories or photographs of the celebrations? Were you or a family member a child at the time, or still in active service on VE Day, and if so where? Perhaps you have letters or mementos from that period.

“This team … you can never give up on us,” Mikel Merino says. “Because I think we proved that we are always going to fight until the end. We have the technical quality and most important we have the motivation to go to the second leg and win this for our fans and for ourselves.”

Jess Cartner-Morley on fashion: butter yellow is the colour to be seen in this summer

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • Yesterday - 13:00

Few people think yellow suits them, but try this soft shade with a golden-hour mellowness

What’s up, buttercup? Yes, I’m talking to you in that delightful yellow you are wearing. Please tell me you are indeed wearing yellow? Because unless you have been hiding underneath a rock for the past two months, you can’t have failed to notice that butter yellow is the new black.

The “new black” narrative is one of fashion’s most familiar plotlines. Big explosions, dramatic music, and – bam – we all stop wearing the nice normal blue jeans and black jackets that we (a) like and (b) actually own, and start wearing a completely different colour instead. This is fundamentally a bit implausible on many levels. But then, so is the story of Cinderella, and that hasn’t stopped “rags to riches with a side order of fairy godmother” from being the plot of a million films.

What we’re reading: writers and readers on the books they enjoyed in April

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • Yesterday - 13:00

Writers and Guardian readers discuss the titles they have read over the last month. Join the conversation in the comments

Even though it came out only last year, I was so impressed with Álvaro Enrigue’s You Dreamed of Empires that I am on my second reread. As all around me institutions fall and norms fail, I feel the moment requires audacious re-imaginings of history or possibilities of thought, and on both a political and imaginative level, Enrigue delivers with his wild telling of the meeting between Hernán Cortés and Moctezuma.
