80th Anniversary of VJ Day 15th August 2025

80th Anniversary of VJ Day 15th August 2025

Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge Town Council will mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day on Friday 15th August 2025, with a ceremony to honour the end of World War II and pay tribute to those who served and sacrificed.

A two-minute silence will be observed at 12.00 noon next to the flagpole in Old Station Approach, Burnham-on-Sea, inviting residents, visitors and local organisations to pause in reflection and remembrance.

Immediately following the silence, a flag-raising ceremony will take place symbolising peace, resilience and national gratitude.

Sadly, the mechanism used to hoist the flag in Highbridge has been damaged and is not repairable.  As a result, unfortunately, the flag cannot be flown in Highbridge on this occasion.
