It was particularly touching that Sgt Raikes' younger brother was there for the ceremony - he said it was very important that his brother and crew had a final resting place at last.

As an ex Rock I have to commend the RAF Regiment burial party, who did an excellent job, but then we'd have expected nothing less of them. Noticed a lance corporal in the party - they are popping up more and more frequently now, but it still looks odd.
