Squadron Leader Percy Beake DFC, RAFVR Retired

[ricardian]

I wonder if there is anyone living near Bath in Somerset who would like to pay their respects at the funeral of Squadron Leader Percy Beake DFC, RAFVR Retired. He was a Spitfire Pilot with 64 Squadron during the Battle of Britain and later went on to command 193 Squadron(Typhoons)covering the D.Day landings.
The funeral will take place at St Thomas a'Becket Church Widecombe, Bath. at 12 pm on the 21st July. Afterwards at the Haycombe Crematorium and then at Bath Mill Lodge retreat. The family would be pleased to see anyone wishing to attend

I am not a million miles away and will attend to show my respects if I can.
