Councillor Andrea Goddard, Mayor of Dudley, said:

It was an honour to lay a wreath in memory of those who fought in the Battle of Britain and won one of the most important victories of World War Two.
They fought for the freedom of our country and future generations, which I believe we should be ever thankful for.
Thank you to everyone who came along to our service to pay their respects.
