Back to overviewMarch 4, 2025
Purton Branch, The Royal British Legion
In recognition of the 80th anniversary of VE Day (08th May) and VJ Day (15th August) it is our intention to mark the occasion by holding a short ceremony on the date of each one to remember all those who lost their lives in defence of our country.
They will be short ceremonies, similar to Armistice Day, with prayers, two minute silence and hopefully, subject to availability, the Last Post and Reveille.
They will be held at 11am at the Purton Cenotaph and will probably last around ten minutes.
Please join us at the Cenotaph at 11am on Thursday 08th May/Friday 15th August to remember all those who gave their lives during the 2nd World War.
We will remember them
