Raja Charles says that the hero ‘will never forget’

King Charles has honored those whose “service and sacrifice” helped to end the World War Two in a personal message, marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day.

In an audio message recorded earlier this month, the king said that those who fight in the Pacific and the Far East and die will be “never forgotten”.

On Friday, Raja and Queen will participate in the service of remembrance in the National Memorial Arboratum in Staffordshire to commemorate the anniversary, with the Prime Minister Sir Kir Stmper.

Win on VJ Day, or Japan Day, is remembered on 15 August every year, and marks on the date in 1945 when Japan surrendered to the armies of the friendly countries ending the war.

The estimated 71,000 soldiers of the UK and Commonwealth died in Japan, including 12,000 prisoners of the war held in Japanese captivity.

The king’s message is required, and reflected, 80 years ago, the audio broadcast by his grandfather, King George VI, when he announced to the nation and the Commonwealth that the war was over.

He will refer to the experience by the prisoners of the war, and for the citizens of the land occupied in the region, whose pain “reminds us that the real cost of war is spread beyond the battlefields, touching every aspect of life”.

The king will describe that those who fought in war, “gave us more than independence; they left us the example of how and how it can be protected”, because the victory was made possible by close cooperation between nations, “Vishal distances, beyond beliefs and cultural divisions”.

It shows that, “The biggest weapons of all are not the weapons you have tolerated, but in the time of peace and in the time of peace, but you have weapons linked”, he says.

In Friday’s service, a national two -minute silence will end with a flyast from RAF Red Arrow.

This will be followed by a reception in which the king and queen will meet the veterans who served with their families in the Far East during World War II.

VJ Day falls after three months after VE Day, when Germany stopped fighting in Europe after surrender.

The events to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VJ Day will conclude with a reception for veterans at Windsor Castle later in the autumn.
