Description
English: Britain Hears News of End of Jap War- Celebrating Victory in Japan, London, England, UK, c 15 August 1945
Civilians walk amongst the piles of torn up paper which have been thrown, 'ticker tape'-style, from the windows of offices, on Lower Regent Street, London, to celebrate the signing of the Peace with Japan. A young boy can be seen playing with the piles of paper, and the faces of many of the people waiting at a bus stop are obscured by the falling scraps. In the background, behind many vehicles (including a horse-drawn cart), Nelson's Column is just visible. It is probable that this photograph was taken at the point where Regent Street meets Pall Mall, looking down Pall Mall towards Trafalgar Square. In the the middle of the road (centre), a brick surface shelter can be seen.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
