Item # 18/7963
This dramatic collectors' edition marks the 60th anniversary of VE-Day, which celebrated victory in Europe following the surrender of German forces to the Allies in the Second World War.St. Paul's Cathedral, an inspiration to the nation for surviving the Blitz, is depicted on the lid in fine detail as a Lancaster Bomber and Spitfires fly past.
round the base are further images from that memorable day: crowds of joyous people waving Union Jacks as they gather at Buckingham Palace; the RAF in victory formation flying over the capital; and a newspaper with bold headlines proclaiming "It's Over in the West".
