The event included a speech by Winston Churchill’s youngest daughter Lady Soames and a reading by actor Robert Hardy of Churchill’s famous ‘the few’ speech.
Phil Reed, director of Churchill War Rooms, said: “In this speech, Churchill epitomised his ability to capture in the most stirring way the spirit of a nation fighting for its existence, as Britain stood firm against the Nazi war machine.”
The event concluded with a fly-past over Whitehall by a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire and Hurricane.
