🇬🇧 Today we mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day 🇬🇧
Victory over Japan Day — VJ Day — brought an end to the Second World War in 1945.
It is a time to reflect, remember, and give thanks to all those who served, sacrificed, and endured, both in the Armed Forces and on the home front.
At midday, Sheffield Hospital Radio will join the nation in a two-minute silence.
We pause to honour the courage of those who fought, the resilience of those who waited, and the memory of those who never came home.
Sheffield played its part in that history, from the city’s steelworks supplying vital equipment to the bravery of local men and women serving overseas, and the families who kept the city running under the strain of wartime.
Eighty years on, we say simply: Thank you. 💙
