Victory in Japan Day – or VJ Day – was celebrated on 15th August 1945 and it marked the end of World War Two. As an Institution we would encourage lodges bands and members to take time and reflect on the sacrifice, give thanks for the deliverance and to celebrate the vistory. 

Just as we did for VE Day a number of months ago we have provided resources for members and the community and links to the national celebrations as we mark this monumental event. 

The 15th August 1945 was the moment that the Allies – that is Britain, the US and other countries that were fighting together – marked victory over Japan.
