The 75th anniversary of VJ Day (Victory over Japan) will be recognised on 15 August 2020, commemorating the final end of the Second World War.

August 15 marks Victory over Japan Day – the end of all hostilities in the Second World War. While peace arrived in Europe in May 1945, those fighting in the Far East continued until Japan's surrender in the wake of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs.
