RAF 'Pilot of the Caribbean' laid to rest with hundreds in attendance.

The funeral of Flight Sergeant Peter Brown, one of the last Black Royal Air Force pilots to have fought in World War II, was held at St. Clement Danes Church in London. Brown, born in Jamaica in 1926, died alone aged 96 at his home in London in December. The ceremony was initially set to be much more modest, until an appeal by the local council to give the veteran a more “fitting send-off” was picked up by archivists and historians, which then captured the public imagination. Hundreds of mourners responded to the call, with many flying thousands of miles to pay their respects.
