'Yanks'

Sunday morning and an excited Zoë saw a convoy of WWII american military vehicles passing our house!

Waving to Zoë as they passed, men dressed in their wartime GI's uniforms drove through the village in their Jeeps and other military vehicles, accompanied by their ladies in 1940's finery. It was 'Yanks' Day - a local celebration of the filming of the 'Yanks', the 1979 John Schlesinger film for which the Saddleworth Villages were a major location.

Nino has posted an entry on her blog with some photos which you can read here at 'Yanks' Day in Saddleworth
