On Thursday 15 August the Mayor and Deputy Mayor attended the Burma Star Association's Commemoration of VJ Day + 74 in Blenheim Gardens. Over forty people gathered to remember those who died in the Two Great Wars in other countries, particularly remembering those who served, suffered and died in conflicts in the Far East. The service was led by Rev John Thorogood and, as the standards of the Burma Star Association, Royal British Legion and Air Cadet Squadron were lowered, and the notes of the bugle playing the Last Post filled the Gardens, wreaths were laid at the Memorial there.
