Hundreds of mourners gathered at an historic central London church for the funeral of one of the last black RAF Second World War veterans.

Flight Sergeant Peter Brown, who flew five operations in Lancaster bombers in early 1945, died alone, aged 96, at his home in Maida Vale, west London, in December last year.
