Personnel at RAF Brize Norton have come together to mark Remembrance Day, honouring all those who have served and sacrificed in defence of the United Kingdom.
Military personnel, civilian staff, veterans and members of the Station community gathered to observe a two-minute silence and pay tribute to those who gave their lives in service to their country, as well as those who continue to live with the lasting effects of conflict.
As the Royal Air Force's principal Air Mobility hub, RAF Brize Norton remains committed to upholding the values of service, duty and sacrifice embodied by generations who have served before them.
RAF Brize Norton Station Commander, Group Captain Kate Macartney, said:
"Remembrance is our opportunity to honour those who served before us, reflect on the sacrifices they made, and ensure their legacy is never forgotten. Today, we remember those who gave their lives in service, those who carry the burden of conflict, and the families who sacrificed alongside them. Their courage and selflessness secured the freedoms we enjoy today, and their example continues to inspire our service. We will remember them."
