Army bomb disposal expert Eric Watts
stood behind a woman and picked up her
five-year-old son so he could see the
celebratory VJ Day procession.
He recalls: "She said 'If you get any
closer you'll have to marry me'. I did.
I just loved the idea of a ready made
family and it was love at first sight."
C Skinner had just given birth when she
heard the news of Japan's surrender.
"A nurse came to my bed and said 'you
have a little girl and the war is
over'. I was lost for words."
