Councillor Eddy Poll, Executive Member for Cultural Services at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “Lincolnshire played a major part in the war, and there were over 25,000 airmen who left Lincolnshire on bombing missions never to return.

"This service will commemorate their sacrifice and will be completed with a flypast by the Lancaster of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and a pair of Tornado aircraft from 617 Squadron.”
