How 75th anniversary of VJ Day will be marked in Leamington, Warwick, Kenilworth and the surrouding area

Councillors Martyn Ashford and Pam Redford and their consorts will be attending commemoration services to be held in the Fusiliers Chapel of St Mary’s Church in Warwick and the Royal Leamington Spa War Memorial in Euston Place.

Cllr Ashford said: “While we are unable to mark this anniversary, with the larger scale events originally planned, we hope that people across the district will take a few minutes out of their day to remember and recognise all those who served and sacrificed in the Far East and ultimately brought an end to the Second World War.”

Much like VE Day, residents are encouraged to celebrate at home.
