Battle of Britain Memorial Service 2024

Battle of Britain Memorial Service 2024 image

Each September, the Royal Air Force holds an annual Battle of Britain Thanksgiving Service at Westminster Abbey. This year, the 84th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, Service of Thanksgiving and Rededication will be held at 11:00 on Sunday, 15th September 2024.

See link for full details of the event: Battle of Britain Memorial Thanksgiving Service.

While surviving Battle of Britain airmen are given priority to attend this event, the service, according to the website, is now open to all members of the public.

The team at the VSC have just recently been made aware of this event and thought we would share the information with any interested Members.

Please note tickets must be applied for in advance, directly from the Battle of Britain London Monument (BBM), not from the VSC, nor Westminster Abbey. All tickets must be applied for in writing before 26th July 2024, and the VSC cannot confirm whether or not the event is full, at the present time.

Information on how to apply for tickets can be found on the BBM website at: https://bbm.org.uk/contact-us/thanksgiving-service/thanksgiving-service-2021
NB: This is the correct URL for this year’s event, despite including a date of 2021…which they have apparently not updated for some time!

If you secure tickets and plan to attend, consider extending your stay in London by booking a table at ‘The Grill’ for lunch or dinner, or perhaps staying overnight at the VSC. We currently have good availability for the night of 15th September and would love to welcome you at the Club.
