Story

I always like to raise a few pennies for a worthy charity to celebrate my birthday. I have the most incredible kind and generous friends and followers and it makes me so proud and humble to have you in my world. This year I am supporting a smaller charity close to my heart. We must never forget the brave men and women who gave so much during WW2. The Volunteers at the Kent Battle of Britain Museum Trust at Hawkinge in Kent are creating a wonderful permanent Memorial to our heroes, The Few, within the Museum Grounds.

The Memorial will represent the seven airmen of No.32 Squadron who were famously photographed at RAF Hawkinge on 29th July 1940. The Memorial will see the airmen created in life-size and cast in bronze.

Every penny you generously donate will help towards creating this beautiful and poignant memorial.

War is a terrible thing and the sacrifices made in our name must never be forgotten. Your kind donation will keep the memory of these wonderful servicemen alive for generations to come.

Thank you - from the bottom of my heart.
