The Battle of Britain is being commemorated by a reading of one of Churchill's most famous speeches and a fly-past at Whitehall.

The Battle of Britain entered its most critical phase 70 years ago this week, and a significant behind-the-scenes-team assisted the RAF pilots scramble, plotting the course of hundreds of German bombers across London in the RAF operations room.

‘Rarely in history has a battle been so mythologised as the conflict that took place in the skies above southern England between 10 July and 31 October 1940,’ wrote Robert Fisk for this newspaper a week ago.
