🎂Today (Friday 23 October) marks our 107th anniversary. 💙
📅For over a century, our commitment has never wavered - supporting serving personnel, veterans, and their families through every challenge, big or small.
#RAFBenevolentFund
Every year, we take part in the poignant ceremony at the Westminster Abbey Field of Remembrance, organised by @PoppyFactory.
It was opened on 5 November by the Duchess of Gloucester and representatives from the Fund walked through the grounds to pay tribute.
