'End of an era': Last surviving Battle of Britain pilot dies
The last surviving Battle of Britain pilot, John 'Paddy' Hemingway, has died at the age of 105.
Mr Hemingway, who is originally from Dublin, joined the Royal Air Force as a teenager before World War Two.
At 21, he was a fighter pilot in the Battle of Britain, a three-month period when air force personnel defended the skies against a large-scale assault by the German air force, the Luftwaffe.
