Station Commander, Group Captain Andy Hampshire, said: "Remembrance is deeply personal to all of us who serve. It is a moment to pause, reflect and remember those who went before us, the sacrifices they made, and the responsibility we carry to honour their legacy through our own service today.

“What made this year’s commemorations particularly special was seeing so many people from across our local communities standing alongside the men and women of RAF Coningsby. That relationship matters enormously to us.

“We are proud to be part of this community and never take for granted the warmth, friendship and support shown to our people and their families"

Coningsby residents and families came out in force to support the commemorations by the RAF station.
