Žitelji glavnog grada želeli su da, makar na trenutak, zaborave strahote rata, sebi priušte iluziju radosti i normalnog života, da u vedrom raspoloženju proslave najveći hrišćanski praznik i skorašnji kraj rata. Raspoloženje Beograđana nije pomutila ni vest da je upravo bombardovan Niš. Nisu hteli da veruju da se to isto može desiti i njihovom gradu. U tu sumornu mogućnost nisu verovali čak i kad su se pojavili prvi angloamerički avioni, Beograđani su ih radoznalo gledali, ne sluteći šta će se uskoro desiti.
Samo za nekoliko sekundi kristalno vedro nebo nad Beogradom premreženo je eksadrilama aviona. Počeo je pravi pakao - istovremeno su fijukale stotine bombi, zavijale gradske sirene, urlali motori bombardera.
Savezničke bombe pogodile su Centralni higijenski zavod, Bolnicu za zarazne bolesti, Dom slepih, Berzu rada, Ortopedski zavod, Državni dom za mušku decu, Državni dom za žensku decu, Dečju bolnicu, Dečji dispanzer. Razoreno je i prvo beogradsko porodilište,
Soldiers and children killed in coach bombing
Eleven people - including eight off-duty soldiers and two young children - have been killed, and 12 seriously injured, when the coach they were travelling in was blown up by a bomb.
The private coach was carrying more than 50 people and making its way from Manchester, along the M62, towards an army base in Catterick, North Yorkshire, when an explosive device in the rear of the vehicle detonated.
The explosion happened just after midnight on the eastbound carriageway between Chain Bar, near Bradford and Drightlington, south of Leeds.
It could be heard over an area of several miles and scattered bodies for yards along the road.
The coach was carrying soldiers and their families who had been on a weekend break; some of the servicemen were travelling to RAF Leeming, near Darlington.
A family of four - Cpl Clifford Haughton, his wife Linda, who were both 23, and their two sons, Lee, five, and Robert, three - were among the dead.

Beograd su anglo-američke vazdušne snage tokom Drugog svetskog rata bombardovale 11 puta. Infrastruktura u Beogradu je bombardovana tri puta u aprilu, dva puta u maju, po jednom u junu i julu i četiri puta u septembru[1][3] Najteže žrtve zabeležene su tokom aprilskog bombardovanja i aprila godine, što se poklopilo sa prvim i drugim danom pravoslavnog Vaskrsa te godine. Glavna jedinica u ovoj akciji bila je američka vazduhoplovna jedinica, sa bazom u Fođi na jugu Italije. Učestvovalo je bombardera, koji su sa — metara ispuštali „tepih bombe“. Protivavionska odbrana nije postojala.
Bombardovanje je nastavljeno većim intenzitetom aprila, kada je pogođen koncentracioni logor Sajmište. U logoru je poginulo 60 logoraša, a oko je ranjeno.
Više poginulih je bilo tokom aprila. Stanovništvo Beograda je u to vreme verovalo da je bombardovanje uvod u vojnu invaziju saveznika.
Beograd je od strane saveznika ponovo bombardovan aprila, aprila, maja, 6. juna, 8. jula, i 6. septembra
