Join us to mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day (Victory in Japan Day) and the end of the Second World War at our Beacon Lighting.
We are hosting a free open-air community event in Manor Park, Aldershot from 8.15 p.m.
In the lead up to the beacon lighting, there will be music with a Vera Lynn tribute, a short talk from local historian Paul Vickers, other readings and memories of the the ‘forgotten army’, and a parade of veterans associations and uniformed youth groups to the beacon.
We will light our beacon at 9.15pm to symbolise the “light of peace” that emerged from the darkness of war.
