A special sitting of Jersey s States Assembly has taken place to mark 76 years since the island s Liberation.
The event was livestreamed online, with only a limited number of States members able to attend due to coronavirus restrictions.
Also in attendance was Jersey s Lieutenant Governor, Sir Stephen Dalton.
In a speech, Deputy Carina Alves thanked the Occupation generation for their sacrifices which laid allowed so many to live their lives in peace and freedom. My family and many others chose to make Jersey our home. Many moved here for the peace, safety and freedom that Jersey offers them. For me it is a time to come together as a family, as friends to celebrate and remember how fortunate we are to have these freedoms. To recognise that there are places in the world who do not experience the same liberties as we do.
