This statue commemorates the liberation of Jersey on 9 May 1945, following nearly 5 years of Nazi occupation. It shows a group of islanders raising the British flag to celebrate the restoration of their freedom. The statue faces the Pomme d'Or Hotel, from whose balcony the Union Flag was flown on the day of liberation. It is a moving sculpture which reminds the visitor of this dark period in Jersey's history, which still looms large in the island's collective story and sense of identity. Although Jersey is proudly British, the sobering fact of the Occupation means that you do not encounter the sort of confected war "nostalgia" so often encountered in the UK.
