My daughter sent me your post as I am the brother of Flying Officer Sam Smith.

The names were read, a wreath laid and a flyover courtesy of DHFS, together with Last Post and Reveille from a trumpeter from the local ATC squadron.
A fitting tribute but we were unable to trace the families of those lost, although I had an email address for Paul Evans fiancee.
