Friday - VJ Day 80 @ Queens Park

VJ Day 80 commemorations take place in Queens Park on Friday 15 August with Lady Redmond MBE and mayors in attendance (Crewe Town Council).

VJ Day 80 commemorations take place in Queens Park on Friday 15 August with Lady Redmond MBE and mayors in attendance.

VJ Day marks the anniversary of 15 August 1945 when Japan announced its surrender to the Allied forces and after six long years the Second World War was finally over. 

Over 90,000 British troops were casualties in the war against Japan, 30,000 died and 37,500 were held as prisoners of war.

While millions took part in parades and street parties, there was also great sadness, the human cost was enormous and many eagerly awaited the safe return of loved ones.  

Join the Queens Park, Crewe - Friends Pages and the Royal British Legion for the VJ Day 80 Commemoration Service at the Burma Star Island in Queens Park, where we will honour all those who served.

There will be a live band playing throughout.
