Pembroke Dock McDonald’s held a VE Day coffee morning earlier, to commemorate the occasion - and were joined by local PCSOs Ella and Nadia; VC Gallery volunteers Jean and Sue; and residents from Pembroke Haven Care Home - along with star guest Tenby resident, 101 year old Eileen Machin.
Originally from Brighton, Eileen joined the ATS aged just 18 in 1942 and served 3 years driving ambulances, lorries and officers around, having passed her driving test in Wrexham in a 3 ton lorry!
She is pictured holding a photo of herself taken on VE Day 1945.
The VE Day celebrations were arranged by Jude Poole Brand (ambassador for McDonald’s Pembroke Dock) who said: “Our store has a great local community spirit and regular customers baked cakes for the occasion.”
