80 years ago, the Second World War finally ended. Today, some of the veterans from the 'Forgotten Army', share their incredible stories so they are never again forgotten. #VJDay #VJDay80 @TheSun spklr.io/6013BGPKd

'The war is over' declared King George VI eighty years ago. Today we honour anew all those whose service and sacrifice saw the forces of liberty prevail. #VJDay80

Big day at #TorquayAcademy! 🚩💪 Cadets nailed the Drill, brushed up on First Aid, tackled Map Reading, practicing for RAST, and honed their Field Craft skills. Teamwork, discipline, and life-saving knowledge all in one! #CCF #FutureLeaders 🌍🩹🗺️
