A pedestrian bridge in Hereford has been renamed to mark the 75th anniversary of VJ Day.

The Greenway Bridge has been re-named Canary Bridge as a tribute to those who worked in the munitions factory at Rotherwas during the First and Second World War.

Many of the workers used a similar bridge to get to travel from St James to Rotherwas to get to work.
