Yes, I was sat on the left in an end seat near the nave. My mac was on the end of the pew. It was excellent - a good choice of hymns. 25 standard bearers, of which 9 were British Legion. I enjoyed Les Bond's song ( sung with Alan St John) specially written for the centenary of the start of the Great War. I missed much of the visiting vicar's sermon, as he didn't have a microphone. I didn't notice a standard bearer in RAF uniform.
