Hundreds of people have attended the funeral of a World War Two RAF airman at an historic Westminster church, after a campaign for a "fitting send-off".

Flt Sgt Peter Brown, originally from Jamaica, was one the last so-called "pilots of the Caribbean", a group of Afro-Caribbean volunteer RAF personnel.

But he died alone at his home in Maida Vale, in December aged 96. Having left no known relatives, the job of organising Flt Sgt Brown's funeral fell to his local authority, Westminster City Council. They appealed to anyone related to the airman to make contact, and later received an "overwhelming" response from people interested in the funeral.

麻豆社 Radio London's Shay Kaur Grewal has been hearing from the 麻豆社's reporter at the funeral, and from one of the genealogists who took on the task of investigating his past and tracing any living family members.
