Geoff Hayman was a 14-year-old
schoolboy who was working for the Post
Office as a relief telegram delivery
boy on VJ Day.
He found 30 telegrams instead of the
usual eight or 10 and was told to cycle
round to all the addresses until the
deliveries were completed.
Arriving home exhausted he says he
was feeling too dejected and tired to
join in the historic festivities.
As a nine-year-old, Brenda Hall was
allowed out with some older girls to
celebrate. She remembers a bonfire and
impromptu singing and dancing.
