Field off Burbages Lane
Burbages Lane, just north of the Coventry/Warwickshire border, still has something of a rural feel despite being close to a major sports stadium and shopping hub - you just have to know where to look.

An English army had just won the war
Bunting has been hung on railings at the junction of Burbages Lane and Winding House Lane to celebrate VE (Victory in Europe) Day, the 75th anniversary of which fell on the 8th May 2020. The May Day bank holiday was moved that year to Monday 11th to permit a long weekend of celebration, but coronavirus pandemic lockdown restrictions, while they heightened the sense of national unity for many people, prevented public gatherings, with the result that celebrations found their outlet through displays; see this BBC report https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-52572884 .
The title alludes of course to the Beatles song 'A Day in the Life' - see Wikipedia here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Day_in_the_Life - and is not intended to suggest that Britain, still less England, was solely responsible for victory over Nazi Germany in 1945.
