In photos: Bramley commemorates VJ Day with emotional ceremony

Saturday, 15th August marked the 75th anniversary of VJ Day, the surrender of Japan and the end of the Second World War.

The Friends of Bramley War Memorial held a socially distanced ceremony with a small number of people, which included the reading out of the names of those who their lives, the laying of wreaths, readings and a two-minute silence.

To make up for the lack of attendees due to Covid-19 restrictions, West Leeds Dispatch live-streamed the event on Facebook. The live stream has so far been watched more than 1,300 times.

Here are some of the photographs taken on the day by Philip McConnell.
