Britain's King Charles III will lead ceremonies in Britain to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Allied forces in the second global conflict, Reuters reported.
Famous buildings in the country will be specially illuminated to mark the anniversary. Among them will be Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament.
It was on this date eight decades ago that Japan surrendered after the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, carried out on August 6 and 9, respectively, 80 years ago by the United States. This is also considered the end of World War II.
