VP Day

Today we celebrate VP Day (Victory In The Pacific) On this day 60 years ago, Japan surrendered to Allied Forces and World War II was over...
It was a time to rejoice for the war was finally over. Thousands poured onto the streets, dancing, waving flags and enjoying the freedom for which they and their servicemen and women had sacrificed so much.

VP Day signalled a time of renewed hope and enthusiasm after the dark years of the war.
We will always remember those that perish on all sides, this day also marked the age of the new weapons of mass destruction...
