Liberation Day - 9 May 1945 - is a key moment in the history of the Channel Islands as the occupying forces in Guernsey and Jersey surrendered. The German Occupation, which began on 30 June 1940 when troops landed at Guernsey Airport, saw islanders imprisoned, forcefully deported and concentration camps operated on British soil.

Residents in Little Sark have been enjoying their first royal visit as part of Liberation Day celebrations. The Princess Royal arrived on the peninsula on 10 May to mark 80 years since the Channel Islands were liberated from Nazi occupation during World War Two.
