A bus stop in Lambley has had its latest makeover in a series of transformations that take place throughout the year.

The ladies at Lambley Women’s Institute (WI) are responsible for decorating the village bus shelter for major events throughout the seasons and this has generated quite a following. 

The WI members have been busy again transforming the stop for the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

The D-Day landings of June 6 1944 was the largest seaborne invasion in history and along with the associated airborne operations, it marked the beginning of the liberation of France and western Europe.

Previous examples of their transformations include Christmas, Remembrance Day, Valentines Day, an Easter theme and Autumn Harvest.
