The coronavirus pandemic and the lockdown has meant that plans for street parties had to be changed or postponed.
But despite the situation, our city has still managed to find safe ways to celebrate VE Day – either with stay-at-home parties or social distancing street parties.
Here are pictures from across the city of residents celebrating VE Day 75.
