VJ Day: Queen attends 70th anniversary remembrance service

The Queen led events to mark the 70th anniversary of VJ Day, when Japan surrendered and World War Two ended.

She and the Duke of Edinburgh joined the prime minister and former prisoners of war at a remembrance service at St Martin-in-the-Fields church in London.

The Reverend Dr Sam Wells told the congregation people "lost life, limb and liberty that we might know peace".

A service was held in Horse Guards Parade, followed by a flypast and march by veterans of the Far East.
