A day after the Royal Family celebrated the christening of Prince Louis, the family reunited to mark the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The family has a long-standing commitment to the Royal Air Force with four generations of the family having served or trained with the United Kingdom's aerial warfare force, and many holding honorary ranks and patronages with RAF charities and associations. The day began with a service at Westminster Abbey followed by a speech by Queen Elizabeth II at the Buckingham Palace. Ahead of the speech, the Queen presented a new flag, known as a 'Colour' to the RAF Regiment. In her speech, the Queen said, "I remember the Battle of Britain being fought in the skies above us, and we shall never forget the courage and sacrifice of that time."
