During the service organised by Coleraine Royal British Legion, Councillor Richard Holmes laid a wreath at the War Memorial at the Diamond.
Reflecting on the occasion, he said: “Today we mark the 76th anniversary of VJ Day, effectively marking the end of World War II. We must never forget the sacrifice of those who gave so much, and today’s service was a moment of poignant remembrance as we recalled the events of 1945.
