An event is being held in Carshalton to commemorate the end of WWII when nuclear weapons were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagaski.
The US attacks occurred in 1945 on August 6 and 9.
The borough’s remembrance event will be held on August 6 at 7.45 pm at Carshalton Ponds, Honeywood Walk.
An event spokesperson said: “Please join us as we remember with deep sorrow the 6th August, 1945, when the US dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and, three days later, on Nagasaki.
“We honour the victims. And we reaffirm that we must do all we can to ensure that such barbarity is never repeated and nuclear weapons are not used again.”
