Did you know that The Duke of Edinburgh was on active service in Tokyo Bay when the Japanese surrendered on VJ Day? His Royal Highness recalled his experiences of that historic day in a BBC interview recorded in 1995. #VJDay75 #VJDay https://t.co/N6outpPzYh — PolitiTweet.org

The Duke features in @DCMS’s The Then and Now project, which recognises a small sample of individuals who served and supported the war effort until the victory over Japan. Their images are appearing on big screens across the country to mark today’s 75th anniversary of #VJDay. https://t.co/GqB5CqFXKg — PolitiTweet.org
