19 Wing Comox Remembrance Service And Static Parade This Weekend

19 Wing Comox will conduct a Remembrance Service and Static Parade to commemorate the 83rd Anniversary of the Battle of Britain this Sunday.

The Battle of Britain ceremony is a reminder of what young Canadians serving in both the RCAF and Royal Air Force (RAF) have contributed.

The service and parade will be held at the 19 Wing Comox Heritage Aircraft Park. In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held indoors at the St. Michaels and All Saints Chapel.

Members of the public are invited to the event - if it is held indoors, seating in the chapel is limited.

The Battle of Britain service is held on the 3rd Sunday of September each year.

The Battle of Britain began on 10 July 1940, when the first Luftwaffe bomber fleets began attacking convoys and Royal Navy forces in English ports and the Channel.

Commemoration ceremonies were cancelled last year due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
