(Image Source: https://metro.co.uk) A campaign has been launched to track down the remaining relatives of Flight Sergeant Peter Brown, who enlisted in the RAF in 1943 and continued to work as a signaller after the war ended. Westminster City Council, which is legally responsible for the funeral, initially had plans for a 140-capacity chapel in Mortlake, south-west London, but due to the high number of requests to attend, a new date and venue are being arranged. The council is also working with well-wishers, community groups, and the military to give Sgt Brown the send-off he deserves, including a Royal Air Force Trumpeter and a senior RAF officer.

The council, which is legally responsible for the funeral, is working with the RAF and Ministry of Defence to ensure Sgt Brown is given the ‘send-off he deserves’. The new date and venue have yet to be announced, but it will be closer to Mr Brown's home in Westminster. Additionally, a RAF trumpeter and a senior RAF officer will be present at the funeral, along with other well-wishers, community groups, and the military. Flight Sergeant Brown's selfless contribution to the RAF is an example to the nation and is being highlighted by the @TheSun campaign.
