Lichfield Cathedral marks the seventieth anniversary of VJ Day. Terry Waite preaches, and worship is led by the dean, the Very Rev Adrian Dorber.

Terry Waite preaches and worship is led by the Dean, The Very Rev'd Adrian Dorber, as Lichfield Cathedral - nearby the National Memorial Arboretum - marks the 70th anniversary of VJ Day. Hymns from the congregation and choral music from Lichfield Cathedral's Chamber Choir, conducted by Martin Rawles, punctuate the journey from Commemoration, through Reconciliation, to Victory over evil and death. Remembering the prisoners of war, the victims of Hiroshima, and the servicemen in the Far East who felt 'forgotten' in the midst of celebrations back home hailing VE Day as the 'end' of WW2. Producer: Rowan Morton-Gledhill.
