The Royal Family and Red Arrows are amongst those set to mark seventy-five years since the end of the Second World War on the 15th August.
Victory over Japan Day, or VJ Day, marks when the Japanese surrendered which brought about the end of WWII.
In the first such flight since the 2012 Olympics, the Red Arrows will conduct a UK wide flypast. They will fly over Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff and London.
The Prince of Wales will lead a two minute silence across the country to pay tribute to those who served in the Far East. It will take place at 11am on Saturday 15th August and be broadcast on BBC One.
John Lamont MP said: “On this special anniversary it is important that we pay tribute to the British and Commonwealth soldiers who fought, died and were imprisoned in the Far East during the Second World War.
“The fighting continued despite the end of the war in Europe and the celebrations at home. It is important that those brave soldiers, sailors and airmen are not forgotten for their part in delivering peace.
“Many lost their lives during the war, including from the Scottish Borders. I hope that many will feel able to join in a national moment of remembrance and thanksgiving on Saturday.”
