2025 Liskeard RBL 80th Anniversary of V.J. Day Drumhead Commemoration Service

The Liskeard RBL Branch proudly invited all members as well as the general public to join them in an Act of Remembrance on the 80th Anniversary of the end of the war with Japan and the end of World War 2. The actual V J Day was 15th August, Liskeard RBL holds the commemorations on the nearest Sunday, so they invited a gathering to come together for a Drumhead Service on Sunday 17th  August at 13.00, in the open sided Workshed in the Cattle Market. A small representation of the Liskeard Silver Band provided some music, the Town Crier opened with The Proclamation, the Guides laid their appropriately decorated beach pebbles and wreaths were laid. After the Roll of Honour for those from Liskeard who died in the Far East, there was a short act of worship, the Tribute was read followed by the National Anthem and the Last Post.
When you go home, tell them of us and say, ‘for your tomorrow, we gave our today’

Vintage vehicles were on display as well as representatives from our uniformed youth organisations and there was a large turn out in support.
