Plans amended for VJ Day celebrations
Published: 22/07/2020
A SERIES of small-scale events will take place for care home residents across Copeland to mark VJ Day next month.
A large parade and gathering that had been planned for Whitehaven for Saturday, August 15 – on the 75th anniversary of VJ Day – has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Event organiser Councillor Allan Forster – Copeland Council’s Armed Forces Champion – has instead organised a number of visits to care homes so residents can enjoy some refreshments and live music in their own gardens.
