Were it not for the actions of these brave men and women, we might not enjoy the freedoms which we now take for granted."
ALT Quote from First Minister John Swinney: The 80th anniversary of VJ Day is a moment to reflect on the immense sacrifices made by Allied forces, and to honour the resilience of prisoners of war and civilians affected by the conflict. It holds a deep historical significance because it allows us to commemorate the end of a global conflict that claimed millions of lives. We remember with pride and gratitude those who served during the Second World War to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.

Quote from Mr Dey reads: “We must remember the many sacrifices – the lives lost, the families and communities on both sides of the North Sea forever changed. “We honour the memory of all those who put their very lives at risk, knowing that their bravery helped inspire others and ultimately turn the tide of war. Their legacy is etched into the very fabric of our shared history.”
