'The Few' honoured with a 12ft sky-gazing statue at Biggin Hill

Sir Winston Churchill's great-grandson has officially unveiled a sculpture of a Second World War pilot at Biggin Hill Airport, to commemorate the Battle of Britain.

World War Two veterans gathered with Randolph Churchill and the Mayor of Bromley at the former RAF station for an event to honour all who fought so courageously to prevent Hitler's invasion of Britain.

The Battle of Britain marked the victory of the RAF over the Luftwaffe and is seen as a crucial turning point in the war.
