Windsor Berkshire

An Appeal to find a Windsor airman's relatives is underway in preparation for a funeral in Berlin.

Pilot Officer Eric Church was born in Windsor in 1919 and was just 24 when he was shot down over Berlin during the Second World War.

He was buried in the Berlin war cemetry but recent excavations at the crash site have only just revealed the remains of another member of his crew, Flt Lt John Bremner.

Bremner is now to be buried alongside his former crewmate and surviving relatives of all the crewmembers are being sought to attend the ceremony in October.

Eric Church moved from Windsor and lived in the East Yorkshire village of Pocklington before setting out on his last fateful mission.

There were a few emails in my inbox saying a nuclear explosion had occured in the area and was being hushed up. There is a picture attached which is actually a virus program, so if you get one of these, please just dump it and do not open the thing. Remember that most often, when people you have never heard of send you emails, they want money or are out to cause mischeif.

Windsor will be proud to welcome Sir Ian Botham on 11th September when he will lead an eight mile walk around the great park in aid of Leukaemia Research.

Why not turn up and show your support for Beefy and the walkers.
