The service of commemoration is held every year on the nearest Sunday to the start of the battle.
Sir Stephen Dalton, president of the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust, said: “Its important that families have somewhere they can come to meet and remember and to lay flowers, but also for the next generation to experience a little of what it would have been like to fly in times of war.”
Alex Scott, from Cambridge, came to lay flowers for his father Jaromir Strihavka, who was a Czech pilot and flew in the Battle of Britain.
“I know the effort that goes into maintaining a place like this and it’s great that the trustees invite us to take part in such a special event,” he said.
