LONDON SKETCHES - SUMMER 2015

MORE FROM MY SKETCHBOOK - VJ DAY IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE AND ST JAMES'S PARK AND WHITEHALL

These sketches were made during VJ Day, in August 2015, 70 years after the end of war in the Far East. There was a fine turnout of veterans again. The ceremony started off, in London, with a service in St Martin's in the Fields church in Trafalgar Square, attended by the Royal Family and the Prime Minister.
