Battle of Britain Service

A service was held at Westminster Abbey in London to commemorate the sacrifices and heroism of "The Few." That would be the RAF pilots and crews who battled the German Luftwaffe from July to October 1940 in what is known as the Battle of Britain.

Prince Charles and Prince Williams led the tribute.

The Roll of Honor was read which consists of 2,936 crew names who fought. It is thought that there are only 25 survivors of these brave souls, all in their late 80s and 90s.
