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.
