Te RAF100 Centenary celebrations – what it meant to our families
RAF families shared with us their thoughts on what the 10th July meant to them as the main Centenary celebrations unfolded on 10th July.
Aproud day for every parent and family member whose siblings were in the parade. Being an RAF MUM, my son is in phase 2training but Iwas there right in the thick of it with other RAF mums who were luckily enough to have sons there, so much emotion and pride, we even dressed for the part in our RAF Spitfire T-shirts and our RAF100 flags, Ihave never felt such pride as Idid on this day to be part of this amazing British Constitution.
Aproud moment watching my husband and his comrades take part in the RAF Centenary parade. Although Icouldn’t be in the thick of it, Iwatched intently from home and my daughter’s school put it on in the classroom for her to watch; we even had afive second glimpse of him standing tall and proud as he guarded the Queens
Colour.Although being amilitary family is tough, these precious moments reassure you of what amassive privilege it is to stand alongside and love somebody that works tirelessly to Serve their country.Well done to everyone who took part in this momentous occasion.
Wasavery proud moment to be part of an RAF family, seeing the typhoons fly in formation after weeks of seeing them all go up to practice and my husband being part of the ground crew that helped get them up in the air,very proud :).
What privilege it was for us to be able to witness this fantastic day with the millions of people that celebrated the day,with two sons serving with the RAF,one of which was on parade -soproud of them both.
