Over 20 people attended a special function in Burnham-On-Sea on Easter Sunday to mark the 100th anniversary of the RAF’s formation.
A special scroll commemorating the milestone arrived in Burnham at the Royal British Legion headquarters in Victoria Street.
Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge’s Mayor Cllr Bill Hancock, Mayoress Frances Hancock and Town Crier Alistair Murray were the VIP guests alongside Burnham’s RAFA President John Bryan and RBL members.
The unique scroll is visiting around 50 branches of the RAFA (Royal Air Force Association) across the south west this year, and it’s on display in Burnham-On-Sea throughout this week.
“The scroll is on display in the window of the Royal British Legion in Victoria Street until Tuesday when it will moves to the shop window of Sentiments until Thursday,” said Burnham’s RAFA President John Bryan.
“The scroll will then move to the Ritz Club on Thursday for a special event for local members before it goes on display in Burnham Library on Friday. It will then be taken on to Weston on Saturday.”
