On behalf of the Gwent Lieutenancy, I note with sadness the passing of HRH The Duchess of Kent. Her devotion to music, charity and young people will be long remembered. My sincere condolences to The Duke of Kent and family.

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

It is with deep sorrow that Buckingham Palace announces the death of Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Kent.

Her Royal Highness passed away peacefully last night at Kensington Palace, surrounded by her family.

The King and Queen and all Members of The Royal Family join The Duke of Kent, his children and grandchildren in mourning their loss and remembering fondly The Duchess’s life-long devotion to all the organisations with which she was associated, her passion for music and her empathy for young people.

Today, on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, we remember the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all who served. Today we especially think of those British and Commonwealth troops who fought in the Asia-Pacific.

We owe an enduring debt to the generation who gave so much, and to whom we will always be grateful. Lest we forget. W & C

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

“For the millions of families gathered around their wireless sets, and for their loved ones still serving far from home, it was the message a battle-weary world had long prayed for - ‘The war is over’.”

This morning, as we mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, The King has delivered an audio message to mark the historic occasion.
