“When they’re gone, they’re gone”
A Nottingham pub will be charging just 7p for pints on VE Day as it takes punters back in time 80 years.
The Fox and Crown, in Church Street, will be offering the bargain pints on Thursday, May 8, to celebrate 80 years since Germany’s surrender in the Second World War.
The first 80 pints will be sold for 7p to replicate 1945 prices.
In a Facebook post, the Fox and Crown said: “Get in early because when they are gone they are gone.
“Doors open at 12pm and the offer is limited to 2 pints per person and is cash only on this offer!”
VE Day 80th anniversary
A range of events are being held in Nottinghamshire and across the UK in early May to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
On May 8, 1945, prime minister Winston Churchill confirmed in a historic speech to the nation that the Allies had formally accepted Germany’s surrender.
The unconditional surrender came just over a week after Adolf Hitler committed suicide, with his successor Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz negotiating an end to the war.
This led to street parties and other forms of celebration across the country - a tradition which has been replicated every year since.
