A VJ Day flag to be raised at 11am at the War Memorial, Peacehaven, and the Kohima Epitaph read. This will be followed by refreshments supplied by RBL at Community House, where there will be repeat showings of the film ‘The Next Morning’.
In conjunction with refreshments and the film, the Government’s ‘Letters to Loved Ones’ initiative will tie in with the day through a display of memorabilia.
After the last film showing, at around 1pm, there will be a 2-minute silence. After which, there will be a tree planting by the Mayor of Peacehaven, Cllr Donovan, in Centenary Park, where a time capsule, filled with a selection of the letters, will also be buried to commemorate the occasion.
