Battle of Britain Remembered

The Prince of Wales talks to Battle of Britain veteran, Wing Commander Tom Neil and his wife Eileen, at a Reception at Westminster Abbey following a Service of Thanksgiving and Rededication, 21 September, 2008. The Prince, who was accompanied by The Duchess of Cornwall, is Patron of the Battle of Britain Fighter Association.

See here for the Surviving Few of Battle of Britain Royal Air Force Fighter Command. I can't help but notice the Canucks, Aussies and New Zealanders still on that most distinguished of lists.
