Jean McLaughlin, the daughter of one of the veterans on the excursion, John Quénault, organised a tour of the Island by vintage bus, including coffee at the Jersey Pottery and lunch at the Landmark Inn.
Last month saw the 60th anniversary of VJ Day, which marked the end of the war in the Far East, and the anniversary was observed by a parade and march-past in town and a commemoration at the Cenotaph.
Following that, Mrs McLaughlin made a radio appeal for help in organising the day out for the veterans.
‘It couldn’t have gone better,’ she said afterwards.
‘It was fantastic, a wonderful day.’ Lunch was provided at the Landmark Inn free of charge, as was the coffee at the Jersey Pottery.
