Battle of Britain Parade

Former Air Force personnel in Nelson paraded on September 17 to honour "The Few" who died in the skies over England during the Battle of Britain. In a simple ceremony, wreaths were placed on the Church Steps, the Last Post was sounded and the parade, including a detachment from R.N.Z.A.F. Station, Woodbourne, marched to the Cathedral for a special service.
