Next year will mark 45 years since British forces liberated the Falkland Islands. For some of those veterans who fought in that conflict, this may be one of the last major anniversaries they see.

We have confirmed that commemorations will take place on the islands to mark the anniversary, honouring those who paid the ultimate price for the freedom of the Falkland Islanders.

It was on this day in 1945 when Japan officially signed the act of unconditional surrender – bringing about an end to the Second World War.

After six long years of conflict, there was relief and celebration with parties and parades taking place in the streets.

But the human cost had been great, with the war against Japan claiming over 90,000 British casualties.

Many waited months to be reunited with loved ones they hadn’t seen for years.

Today, we remember the serving personnel from Britain and across the Commonwealth who served and sacrificed so much for the freedoms we hold today.
