The Royal Air Force

Royal Air Force

As a living memorial to all those Royal Air Force men and women who have died whilst serving, St Clement Danes church contains the Books of Remembrance honouring their military service.

The Church also contains over a thousand unique slate squadron and unit badges embedded in the
floor.

The walls have Colours and Squadron Standards from disbanded units, which have been “laid up” in the church.

Many items of unique historical RAF memorabilia are displayed in the church, as well as ancient silver treasures from the old parish.
