His funeral was set to be held on March 29 at Mortlake Crematorium. However, it is now being moved to a bigger venue after a successful search for mourners launched by
Westminster Council, the RAF and historians.
Mr Brown left Jamaica to join the RAF in 1943, serving on Lancasters in 625 Squadron.
Typically, the 140-space capacity at Mortlake chapel would have provided room for a fitting send off.
