Funeral for black WW2 RAF hero who died alone moved after it's 'inundated' with mourners

The funeral of one of the RAF's last black World War Two heroes is to be moved after organisers were inundated with requests to attend the service.

He died alone at his home in Maida Vale in West London, aged 97.
