Hiroshima Memorial Day
Aberdeen CND invites you to mark the 69th anniversary of the first use of nuclear weapons. In August 1945 the US dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
We will release 200 peace lanterns on the River Dee to commemorate the 200,000 men, women and children who died.
There will also be peace songs, poetry and short contributions from trade unions, community & faith groups, civic leaders and a speaker from the Japanese community.
Date: Wednesday 6th August, at 8.30pm
Venue: the Fisherman’s Hut on the River Dee
(by Riverside Drive - see map overleaf)
