Mansfield and District Male Voice Choir is to perform at the International Bomber Command Centre’s annual remembrance service on Thursday, 24th July.

The service is part of the Lincoln centre’s fifth annual International Bomber Command Day. This year will also mark the 10th anniversary of the official unveiling of the memorial spire.

The centre pays tribute to the efforts, sacrifices, and commitment of the men and women from 62 different nations who came together in Bomber Command during the second world war.

Bomber Command suffered the highest losses of any unit during the conflict.

This will be second occasion that the choir has been asked to perform at the service, remembering the sacrifice made by a generation of brave airmen and women.

The free service will include hymns with the centre’s orchestra, the Mansfield choir, poetry readings, and a roll of honour for the veterans who died in the last year. It starts at 2pm, and will be followed by the laying of wreaths.
