WAR veterans who fought in Burma will gather for a poignant and emotional last official gathering today.

The St Albans Branch of the Burma Star Association will commemorate the 65th anniversary of both VE and VJ day.

However, due to its dwindling numbers, many who have died of old age, the branch is to wind down its regular work in the district.

The commemorative service will be held today from 3pm at the Woodland Park in Jersey Farm.
