 75th Anniversary
15TH AUGUST 2020
Whilst VE Day marked the end of the war in Europe in May 1945, many thousands of Armed Forces personnel were still involved in bitter fighting in the Far East. Victory over Japan would come at a heavy price, and Victory over Japan Day
(VJ Day)
marks the day Japan surrendered on the 15 August 1945, which in effect ended the Second World War.
Following on from VE Day, when individual Street Parties took place in the village, the Parish Council think it would be great to celebrate VJ Day by everyone celebrating together in the Paddock and bringing their own food and drink. Obviously following the social distancing guidelines.
Councillors ask if anyone would be willing to come forward to help lead the event, with support from the Parish Council, along with any local musicians who would be happy to provide entertainment.
If interested, please contact:
