The King and Queen led a two-minute silence at a service in Staffordshire to commemorate 80 years since VJ Day.

Among the attendees were veterans, some of whom participated in the ceremony by laying wreaths and giving readings.

VJ Day, or Victory over Japan Day, is marked each year on 15 August – the date in 1945 when Japan surrendered to the Allied forces and World War Two ended.
