THE 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War is being commemorated on coasters produced by a Malvern firm.

The Coaster Company, based in Spring Lane South, was given permission by the Ministry of Defence and the commemoration team behind the national celebrations to use the official anniversary logo.

Company director Ken Beecroft said: "We were very pleased to get their consent."

The coasters were produced at the request of the Chelsea Pensioners and will go on sale in their museum gift shop, as well as other regimental museums.

Anyone organising a VE Day or VJ Day anniversary celebration who would like to sell the coasters to raise funds, should contact the firm on 01684 577177.
