Six hundred mourners turned out today to pay their respects to one of the last WWII ‘Pilots of Caribbean’ following an appeal to find his relatives.
Flight Sergeant Peter Brown received a full RAF military funeral today following an outpouring of public support after he died alone at home in in Maida Vale, London, aged 96.
The airman's funeral - originally set for March 29 - had initially been expected to be a low-key affair at Mortlake Crematorium after his family could not be contacted.
