This is for the commemoration ceremony at the cemetary, which contains the graves of USAAF and other personnel.
Very moving. But get there early as it is very busy and quite hard to get parking. Just off the M11 near Cambridge.
Here are some pictures from last year.

I hope to be airborne not far from there this morning, and will be talking to Lakenheath, so perhaps I might catch a distant glimpse of the formation.
