Crowds turn out for service in Bewdley to commemorate VJ Day 80

A CROWD gathered outside St Anne’s Church in Bewdley this morning for a special service to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VJ Day.

The event was organised by Bewdley Town Council and it was attended by representatives from local organisations, councillors, civic dignitaries and local residents.

Coun Nicole Harper, the Mayor of Bewdley, addressed the crowds with a heartfelt speech in memory of those who fought for our country.

Rev Melissa Beynon conducted the service which concluded with a two-minute silence.

Following the service, invited guests partook in refreshments inside St Anne’s Church.
