Today we celebrate the 78th anniversary of VJ Day. A day which marks the surrender of Japan and the end of World War Two.
To commemorate VJ Day I joined the Ilkeston branch of the Royal British Legion in Ilkeston Market Place for a service. Today also provides us with an opportunity to honour all the British and Commonwealth forces that fought tirelessly to defend our freedom.
I would like to thank all those who took part for helping to make the occasion a memorable one.
