Join us at Stamford War Memorial on Friday 15 August as we gather to honour and celebrate the 80th anniversary of VJ Day.
Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day) marks the anniversary of the historic moment Japan announced its surrender to the allied forces, which ended the Second World War.
The Mayor of Stamford, Councillor Amanda Wheeler, will welcome assembled guests to the commemorative event before a short service led by the Stamford Royal British Legion. During the service, the national two-minute silence will be observed at midday and wreaths will be laid.
Please gather at the War Memorial on Broad Street from 11:30am as we honour the sacrifices of the past and pay tribute to the legacy of the Second World War generation.
