A commemorative event took place at the War Memorial on Friday to remember those who fought for our freedom on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day.
The Mayor of Stamford, Councillor Amanda Wheeler, welcomed assembled guests before a short service led by the Stamford Royal British Legion.
During the service, the national two-minute silence was observed at midday and wreaths were laid by RAF Wittering, Stamford Town Council and the Royal British Legion.

Stamford Town Council would like to thank everybody who took part and joined us on the day.
