Two new benches have been installed this week at Uplands Park and Belle Vue Road in Brecon to celebrate VE Day & VJ Day 80.

Thanks to Brecon Town Council, these benches have been placed to commemorate the 80th anniversaries of VE Day and VJ Day, honouring those who served and sacrificed during WWII.

The 80th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day is approaching on Friday, 15 August.

A spokesperson for Brecon Town Council said: “These benches have been placed to commemorate the 80th anniversaries of VE Day and VJ Day, honouring those who served and sacrificed during WWII. We hope they offer a comfortable spot to rest and enjoy our shared spaces, as well as a quiet place for reflection and remembrance.”
