When we were finally liberated there was so much joy and excitement, I remember our schoolteacher lining us up all along the road at Cobo , and then the magic time came, all the Tommies walked up the road from Cobo beach inland, where we were, and we were shouting and cheering and waving our arms and they were waving at us. Then all of a sudden they all put their hands in their pockets and they were throwing sweets to us everywhere so there was one mad dash to see who could get a sweet, I think I ended up with one. But it was so exciting, so exciting. I remember that very well, it was a really thrilling day for all of us.
They came on lorries, but we were lined up there at Cobo and I remember them coming up from Cobo beach up towards where we were by the Mission, that鈥檚 where we were all lined up, because I was five years old then.
