A Spitfire took to the skies in West London on Wednesday to honour war veterans from the joint services.
More than 300 former servicemen and women gathered at the Royal Air Force Museum London to watch the flypast by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire. The majority of those who gathered for the museum's annual Joint Service Veterans Day had served in the World War II.
But others in attendance had fought during conflicts in Korea and the Falklands.
The museum has been running the event to commemorate the efforts of service personnel from the RAF, the Navy and the Army for more than 10 years. Veterans were entertained by a swing band which played under the fuselage of a Lancaster Bomber.
World War II veteran Kevin Cowls, 90, from Northampton, said it was extremely important that the efforts of the servicemen and women who had died while serving their country were remembered.
Mr Cowls who served with the RAF, said: "I've enjoyed myself completely. It's wonderful to be at the RAF Museum with so many other veterans.
