The King and Queen lead a two-minute silence at a service in Staffordshire, England, to commemorate 80 years since VJ Day.
Among attendees are 33 veterans, including former RAF pilot Ron Gumbley, 101, who served for a time in Burma.
Earlier, the King paid tribute to those who fought and died in Asia and the Pacific, saying they will "never be forgotten".
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.
