To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain (1940-2020) Hillingdon Council worked closely with the Polish Air Force Memorial Committee (at Northolt?)to create a brand-new permanent display that highlights the vital role of the Polish Air Force during the Second World War.

The annual Polish Air Force Memorial remembrance service took place 31/08/24 in Ruislip, West London, honouring the bravery and sacrifice of Polish pilots during World War II. Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton, attended the ceremony, paying tribute to the crucial role the Polish airmen played in the Battle of Britain and throughout the war. The service, held at the Polish War Memorial in Northolt, drew a large crowd of veterans, dignitaries including the Mayor of Hillingdon, and members of the Polish and British communities. The ceremony celebrated the enduring bond between the two nations, forged in the skies during one of history’s most critical conflicts. The service included a wreath-laying ceremony, and the RAF Music Services playing national anthems and The Last Post, serving as a poignant reminder of the shared history and lasting friendship between the United Kingdom and Poland.
