The end of war in Europe was a bit of a blur for Ula Rigg, now aged 102.
The Auxiliary Fire Service switchboard operator, then stationed at Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, was hoisted on top of a brick air raid shelter.
"When we heard that it was all over, we all got rather squiffy I'm afraid," she said.
"I was surrounded by lots of people and we all sang Vera Lynn songs like 'We'll meet again'. It was a wonderful moment to think that it was all over."
Ms Rigg was stationed in at Avonmouth's docks, and witnessed the worst days of the Bristol Blitz.
