75th anniversary of Battle of Britain

A flypast involving about 40 Spitfires and Hurricanes is set to take place to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

Prince Harry will join veterans to see the fleet of Battle of Britain aircraft take to the air - the most in any one place since World War Two. A service will also be held at London's St Paul's Cathedral at 11:00 BST. The Battle of Britain, in the summer of 1940, was one of the pivotal moments in UK history.
