VJ Day 80 – 15th August 2025
Today at 9am a flag raising ceremony and reflection on the sacrifices made took place with a special VJ Day 80th Anniversary Flag flying proudly at the Town Council offices to commemorate the end of the Second World War and paying tribute to those who served.
Later at midday please join a special service at the War Memorial in Market Street to include laying of wreaths in remembrance. A national two minute silence will also take place.
We invite the community to pause and reflect on the sacrifices made, and to remember those who fought for the freedoms we enjoy today.
