'How I remember VJ day'
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has expressed "profound grief" over his country's actions in World War Two.
In the statement marking 70 years since Japan's WW2 surrender, he said apologies made by previous governments were "unshakeable".
Mr Abe pledged that Japan would "never wage a war again".
Sir Peter Marshall was a navigator with the RAF near Calcutta when Japan surrendered.
He told Naga Munchetty: "Looking back 70 years, the great triumph is that we haven't had a a catastrophic World War Three because the United Nations was established to ensure countries co-operate."
