King Charles will vow that the service and sacrifice of Second World War heroes who fought and died in the Pacific and Far East will never be forgotten.

It's not every day a 105-year-old war veteran commends your bravery, but that's exactly what occurred today when, according to Hello!, Yavar Abbas saluted "my brave King," King Charles II, for being at the VJ Day remembrance service amid his battle with cancer.

King Charles will lead British commemorations on Friday for the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, which marks victory over Japan and the end of World War Two, with famous buildings across the country lit up to mark the occasion.
