Winston S Churchill
'My personal association with Biggin Hill during the Battle of Britain lives in my mind. As a nation we have short memories and it is well that Memorials such as this should bring to our remembrance the cost of victory in the days when one of our fighter pilots had to be worth ten. They died without seeing the reward of their efforts; we live to hold their reward inviolate and unfading".
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few"
Winston S Churchill
Prayer for St. George’s RAF Chapel of Remembrance
We pray for St. Georges’s RAF Chapel of Remembrance. May it serve to be a lasting memorial to all who gave so much in defence of human dignity; human freedom and human service of love, one to another. We pray that it will remain an inviolate and unfading memory to those who have sacrificed so much in protecting freedom, justice and equality. May it serve as a reminder of the need for continued vigilance against forces of injustice, extreme ideologies, misuse of power and hatred of one race for another. May we dedicate ourselves to peace and promoting the Law of Love embodied in Christ Jesus.
Rev Chris Baker, Officiating Chaplain to the Military.
THE RAF COLLECT
Almighty God, who has promised that they who wait upon thee shall renew their strength and mount up with wings, as eagles, we commend to thy fatherly protection all who serve in the Royal Air Force. Uplift and support us in our endeavour, that we may be a safeguard unto our most gracious Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth and a sure defence to our homeland. Help us to fulfil our several duties with honour, goodwill and integrity, and grant that we may prove to be worthy successors of those who by their valour and sacrifice did nobly save their day and generation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
