THE 1940s
Join the small boats at Dunkirk as they turn a dreadful defeat into an
extraordinary victory… keep smiling through as Churchill
raises our spirits during the Blitz…
dance to the big bands as they provide the soundtrack to land girls,
rationing and make-do-and-mend…
meet the glamorous GIs who stole the hearts of many girls…
experience the heat of the battle as El Alamein and D-Day turn the tide of war…
dance in Trafalgar Square to celebrate victory,
then experience the poignant moment when soldiers– fathers, sons and brothers-
at last come home…
share the euphoria as a new Labour government sweeps to power,
and the great experiment of the National Health Service is introduced…
shiver through the great freeze of 1947,
then celebrate the wedding of Princess Elizabeth…
enjoy the sexy New Look introduced by Dior…
and savour the moment when sweets finally came off the ration.
Relive the times we kept smiling through, in The 1940s.
THE 1950s
Wander among the crowds and experience the optimistic vision
of our country’s future at the Festival of Britain…
meet Dan Dare’s creator…
experience smog blanketing our cities…
join the crowds as they flock to Buckingham Palace
for the coronation of our new Queen…
hear Edmund Hillary describe his conquest of Everest,
cheer on Roger Bannister as he achieves the four-minute mile,
and roar with approval as the great Stanley Matthews lifts the FA Cup…
crowd into a brand-new coffee shop
with a bunch of Teddy boys to listen to rock ‘n’ roll
on a glittering jukebox…
be in the audience as Fanny Craddock becomes the first TV Chef…
get away from it all in a traditional British resort
and drive along the first motorway…
and stroll through a new town
and look forward to a better tomorrow.
Recapture those days when we’d never had it so good, in The 1950s.
THE 1960s
Be where it’s all happening in the heart of swinging London…
give up National Service and take up nationwide protest
with the birth of CND…
wonder as the first man travels in space
then shiver as a crisis in Cuba brings us close to a catastrophe…
join the whole world in shock at an assassination in Dallas
and be among the thousands mourning our wartime leader,
Winston Churchill…
be there as the Beatles conquer the world…
go shopping in Carnaby Street…
enjoy the success of the Mini car and the mini skirt…
visit the pop pirates
and grow your hair long to join the hippies…
float across the water in a brand-new Hovercraft…
celebrate England winning the World Cup
and the investiture of the Prince of Wales at Caernarvon…
and hold your breath while one man takes a small step onto the Moon.
Relive the swinging Sixties, in The 1960s.
