VJ Day 80 – Commemoration Service in Bude

Friday 15 August 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day), which brought the Second World War to a close.

To mark the occasion, a service of commemoration will be held at the Bude War Memorial on Shalder Hill, beginning at 10:50am. The service will be led by Deacon Debbie Marsh.

The Union Flag will also be flown from the flagpole on Shalder Hill throughout the day in tribute to those who served and sacrificed.

All are welcome to attend and take a moment to reflect.

Bude-Stratton Town Council would like to express its gratitude to those helping to make this commemorative event possible, and to everyone in the community who takes part.
