To mark the anniversary of Victory over Japan (VJ) Day, Horsham District Council hosted a wreath laying ceremony at the War Memorial in Horsham on the morning of 15 August. The event was led by Council Chairman Cllr Joanne Knowles who was joined by members of the Horsham branch of the Royal British Legion.
The ceremony honoured the sacrifices made by British, Commonwealth, and Allied Armed Forces personnel who served in the Far East during the Second World War. VJ Day commemorates the surrender of Japanese forces in 1945, which brought the global World War Two conflict to an end.
