Funeral of black WWII veteran Flight Sergeant Peter Brown set for historic RAF church

A date for the funeral of one of the RAF's WW2 veterans who died alone has now been set.

Flight Sergeant Peter Brown who came to Britain from Jamaica as part of the Windrush generation, is believed to be the final member of the 'Pilots of the Caribbean' to pass away aged 97 at his home in Maida Vale, London.

An appeal was initially launched to find members of Mr Brown's family and draw mourners to his funeral previously set for the 140 capacity Mortlake Crematorium on March 29 at midday.
