Borderers pay their respects
Borderers marked the 75th anniversary of Victory in Japan Day on Saturday, August 15, but it wasn’t quite the commemoration that was planned.
As the current COVID-19 situation continues, large gatherings are not permitted, so the milestone was marked in several low-key events, with people being urged to stay at home.
