As others have said, the Service at Westminster Abbey was magnificent - a perfect tribute with a wonderful atmosphere throughout.

A smaller and less formal but no less moving Act of Remembrance was held at the Battle of Britain Monument on the Embankment the previous day.
Organised by the BoB Fighter Association, the short service was conducted by the Ven Ray Pentland, former Chaplain-in-Chief of the RAF.
The well known words
'They shall not grow old …' were particularly poignant spoken by one of the remaining Few - Geoffrey Wellum - who also laid a wreath.

Lest we forget ...
The Battle of Britain Memorial Trust maintains the
National Memorial to the Few at Capel-le-Ferne on the cliffs between Dover and Folkestone.
It's well worth a visit, and supporting the memorial as a
Friend of the Few costs very little.
