On Friday 15th August Whitwick Parish Council laid a wreath at St John’s The Baptist Church memorial garden, the gathering was held to mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day (Victory over Japan.)

We would like to thank everyone who joined us in paying respect to all who served and those who gave their lives for our country.

Thank you to Sue Colledge at Colledge’s Florist, Whitwick, for giving her time to create the beautiful wreath for the anniversary, and to Glyn and David, who took the time to read out the service on the day of the anniversary.
