Where would we have been without the Few, Jeremy? Pacifist Corbyn joins service to honour Battle of Britain heroes - but REFUSES to sing the National Anthem 

Jeremy Corbyn joins Battle of Britain service but REFUSES to sing National Anthem

Republican Jeremy Corbyn stood silent (main picture) on his first major official engagement as Labour leader as the congregation at St Paul's Cathedral sang God Save the Queen to remember those who died on the aerial conflict's 75th anniversary. Mr Corbyn, who was dressed in non-matching jacket and trousers and had failed to properly button his shirt, was branded a 'disgrace' by critics. During the summer and autumn of 1940, 544 personnel from Fighter Command died as the RAF fought Hitler's Luftwaffe and helped stop an invasion. Ahead of the memorial service, attended by survivors including RAF pilot Will Clark, 95, pictured, Mr Corbyn also met David Cameron for the first time since his victory. Hours earlier he became embroiled in a major row with his own MPs after refusing to say if he will wear a red poppy on Remembrance Sunday because he is a pacifist.

Corbyn calls for UNLIMITED benefits after being cheered into the TUC conference by union

Jeremy Corbyn was given a hero's welcome at the annual Trades Union conference today as he announced Labour will campaign to lift the government's £26,000 a year cap on benefits. After being played into the hall with a rendition of 'Hey Big Spender' the 66-year-old radical embarked on a rambling 15 minute address comparing the government to Franco's dictatorship in Spain and boasting about his mandate to impose a hard left-wing agenda on the Labour party. He said the party would win a majority in 2020, attacked the government for 'declaring war' on workers and called on trade union activists to help him come up with new policies. It came after Britain's trades unions earlier voted to hold a national day of action in protest at the government's plan to clamp down on strikes.

'The Spitfire cockpits were full of ghosts': On the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, surviving heroes share memories of the bloody campaign which changed the course of the Second World War

Battle of Britain survivors share memories of the campaign that changed WW2

Geoffrey Wellum, 93, who now lives in Mullion Cove, Cornwall, was a 19-year-old Spitfire pilot with 92 Squadron in 1940, and was credited with shooting down at least three enemy aircraft and damaging several others. He remembers the 'awe-inspiring' sight of hundreds of planes, flying through the cloud above England, like 'gnats on a summer evening'. But Mr Wellum said there were times when he realised it was 'bloody dangerous'. He also described how he mourned for his former colleagues when he saw 12 pairs of Spitfires take off at The Flying Legends Airshow. Wing commander Tom Neil, 95, who today leads the formation from the rear of a two-seater Spitfire, carried out dozens of missions during the Battle of Britain in which he brought down 14 enemy planes. On one day, he claimed five confirmed kills. But despite taking off 157 times over 16 weeks, the former pilot - who wakes up at 4am every day - still wonders if he 'did enough' during the bloody campaign.

Every day in battle was like Rorke's Drift - no wonder he snapped. But now he is a scapegoat: In a furious interview, thriller writer Frederick Forsyth drops dark hints about Sgt Blackman's court martial

Frederick Forsyth drops dark hints about Sgt Blackman's court martial

On September 15, 2011, in Helmand Province in Afghanistan, three members of a patrol of Royal Marines from 42 Commando were involved in the shooting of an unarmed and wounded Taliban fighter. A subsequent court martial in November 2013 convicted Sergeant Alexander Blackman (left) of murder, and sentenced him to ten years in jail. It is that verdict and sentence that so angers author Frederick Forsyth (right). He says the trial was 'deeply flawed' and that the whole process was problematic on a number of levels. Forsyth, 77, also raises the possibility that the Taliban fighter shot by Sgt Blackman may well have been dead at the moment that the Marine fired at him.
