"Before I read the excerpt, I make due apologies for briefly going off the script to salute my brave king, who is here with his beloved queen in spite of the fact that he's under treatment for cancer," Abbas began. _ Yavar Abbas revealed he "shared" a similar journey to King Charles III's, adding that he's been "rid of it for 25 years and counting," which prompted applause. _ Yavar Abbas, who was part of the 11th Sikh Regiment of the British Indian Army, read from his wartime diary that his wife preserved "perhaps for just such an occasion." He read from an entry he wrote in 1945, "Tomorrow, I hope I will live to do better things. I could have been dead twice before, but I'm still living. I would be surprised if I get a life for a third time. May God spare me." _ Prince William and Kate Middleton honored VJ Day veterans on their official X account: "Today, on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, we remember the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all who served. Today we especially think of those British and Commonwealth troops who fought in the Asia-Pacific," the Prince and Princess of Wales wrote. "We owe an enduring debt to the generation who gave so much, and to whom we will always be grateful."
