Britain marks 75th anniversary of VJ Day

UK military bagpipers played "Battle's O'er" across the country as part of the commemorations.

There will also be flypasts by the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, over the four capitals of the United Kingdom, Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff and London.

Previous anniversaries have involved a parade by veterans through central London, however due to the coronavirus pandemic events have been scaled back to adhere to social distancing guidelines and lockdown restrictions.
