The RAF Chapel at Westminster Abbey was unveiled in 1947 at a service attended by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. The royal guests are looking up at the magnificent stained glass window of the chapel.
The Chapel is dedicated to the men of the Royal Air Force who died in the Battle of Britain in 1940.
The exquisite stained glass window includes the badges of 70 squadrons who fought in the Battle, together with the furled flags of New Zealand, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Belgium, and the United States of America.
