Ordinary people from all over the country, from different cultural backgrounds and generations lined together with the war veterans to offer the chance to remember and pay tribute to the brave men and women that defended the country from the Luftwaffe attacks in the 1940s. These events should not be simply seen only as war remembrance days, rather a tribute to uplifting the value of freedom and the refusal to go into another war again. Prince Charles has watched a special flypast of Spitfires and Hurricane as well as attending the ceremony at the Westminster Abbey.
