This year’s annual Battle of Britain Civil Service will be held on Sunday 15 September, at The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, Windsor, SL4 1LS.

September 15 in 1940 saw particularly heavy fighting in the skies over Britain between the RAF and the Luftwaffe, and proved to be a decisive defeat for the German air force. Since then, this date has been commemorated as ‘Battle of Britain Day’ in the UK.

The annual commemoration at Parish Church is a joint service for the Royal Borough to remember all those who took part in the defence of our country during the battle, and involves a civic party, which includes the Mayor, the Royal Air Forces Association and local units of the Air Training Corps.

The public are welcome and if you’re planning to attend please be in the vicinity of the war memorial on Windsor High Street by 10.50am. There will be a procession and a short wreath-laying ceremony at 11am after which you’re welcome to join the service in Parish Church.
