Flypast for new WWII memorial

A £6m memorial to the 55,573 airmen of Bomber Command who died during World War II has been unveiled by the Queen.

The Queen was joined by royals including the Prince of Wales at the dedication ceremony in London's Green Park.

Some 6,000 veterans and families of the deceased watched a Lancaster Bomber drop thousands of poppies in a flypast.
