Can you see yourself in these D-Day commemoration pictures at Doncaster's Lakeside?

A nostalgic event with true 1940s spirit commemorated D-Day at Lakeside Village in Doncaster last weekend thanks to the Victoria Cross Trust.

The charitable organisation, which works to ensure that the approximately 700 family graves of Victoria Cross recipients across the UK are maintained and remembered for generations to come, were onsite at the retail outlet with memorabilia, historic military vehicles including American Willys Jeeps - the standard Jeep from WWII - with re-enactors dressed in 1940s clothing and uniforms.

Photographer Mick Hickman was at the event and captured these images. For more of Mick’s work follow him on Instagram @mickhickmanphotography or Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mickhickmanphotography
