The Armed Forces Memorial, and its immediate surroundings, will be closed to visitors from 10am on Friday 8 August to 5pm on Sunday 17 August to allow us to prepare to host the national VJ Day 80 commemorations. The rest of the Arboretum's 150-acres will remain open to visitors as normal. We are sorry for any inconvenience this might cause and appreciate your understanding during this time.
The National Service Veterans Association will commemorate the event with a short Act of Remembrance and wreath laying ceremony at their own National Service Veteran's Memorial. Attendance is open to all veterans, members, bereaved families, and descendants of UK National Servicemen. All standard bearers are invited to attend.
