Hiroshima Day is usually held on 6th August, commemorating the day in 1945 when an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, followed a few days later by another dropped on the city of Nagasaki.
In 2015, marking the 70th anniversary of Hiroshima, there will be a commemoration on Saturday 8th August. There will be a free crane making workshop in St Stephen’s Church in the High Street at 10.15am. Then from 11am, the Lord Mayor will lead a Procession from the Church to the Peace tree on Southernhay West for an Interfaith Ceremony of Remembrance.
