THE Ayr and Prestwick Branch of the Royal Air Forces Association will be observing the annual Battle of Britain Remembrance service next month.

The service will be held on Sunday, September 18 at Prestwick War Memorial at 3pm.

Afterwards a short service will be held at the Polish Navel Memorial in the garden at the RAFA Club. Light refreshments will follow and all are welcome to join in.

A spokesperson from the Ayr and Prestwick RAF Association said: “Let us together remember all who fell in that great battle which ensured our freedom.”
