Reed’s Between the Lines

Historians Reflect on the 80th Anniversary of VE Day

Season 4 Episode 3

In a brilliantly engaging episode of Reed's Between the Lines, Mr Hoskins, Mr Ha, and Dr Smith are pleased to welcome back Mr Waller and a crack team of young historians — Patrick L and Luke D from the Third Form, and Toby T and Keziah C from the Lower Sixth — to explore the continued impact of the Second World War in 2025, and how pupils today connect with this pivotal period of history. We are also privileged to hear the VE Day recollections of Old Reedonian Bill Collins (Bristowe 1946), who attended Reed's during the war years when the school was relocated from London to Totnes, Devon.
