Live coverage continues of the 70th anniversary of VJ Day with a special commemorative event on Horse Guards Parade, where the Prince of Wales will lead over a thousand veterans and descendants of the Far East Campaign in a moving drumhead service, wreath-laying ceremony and fly-past.

Following these commemorations, veterans and their families, accompanied by current personnel, will march down Whitehall and through Parliament Square to Westminster Abbey in a special anniversary parade.
