A PROPER HONOUR. Flt Sgt Peter Brown RAF’s last black World War II veteran. Search for family
A PROPER HONOUR. Flt Sgt Peter Brown RAF’s last black World War II veteran. Search for family

THE family of a hero thought to be one of the RAF's last black World War II veterans are being hunted to attend his funeral, which has been postponed with a new date to be arranged.

Campaigners and historians have sparked a worldwide scramble to find anyone who knew Flt Sgt Peter Brown, who died alone in his flat in London at the end of last year.

The Lancaster bomber vet is believed to to have been single and have no children, but locals are fighting to spread the word and deliver him the funeral send off he deserves.

Authorities in Jamaica are looking abroad for long-lost relatives or anyone who may have known him.

Top brass from the RAF and other military figures are gearing up to attend the service to commemorate his life.

Born in 1926, the Jamaican-born vet is thought to have signed up aged just 17, before completing his training in Canada.

He then travelled to Britain with a group of colleagues, joined the RAF in September 1943 and trained as a specialist wireless operator and air gunner.

He fought for the allies on Lancaster bombers, as part of 625 Squadron. He was posted to RAF Scampton, home of the legendary Dambusters.

Brown served in several operations from early 1945 between VE Day and VJ Day, and went on to take part in missions in Palestine, Tripoli, Egypt and Malta - before leaving the forces in 1950.

After the war he served as driver and later a signaller.
Brown is also thought to have worked for the Ministry of Defence before he died in North London aged 96 in December.

He was a long-term member of the MCC and lived near the Lords cricket ground.

Locals are raising funds for a book of remembrance or a plaque to commemorate him and his service to Britain.

Candice McDonald said: "We are appealing to anyone who knows him who can give us any details about this man - so we can give him the send off he deserves."

And the Prime Minister has now got behind The Sun's campaign - and agreed to send top brass to the funeral so he will be properly remembered.

Rishi Sunak said: "Flight Sergeant Brown is an example of the selfless contribution of all Commonwealth personnel who have served the RAF. I hope that the nation gets behind this Sun campaign.

"We’ve also arranged for an RAF trumpeter to attend the funeral, alongside a senior RAF officer."

His funeral is due to take place next week at Mortlake Crematorium in Richmond.

An RAF Spokesperson said: “Flight Sergeant Brown is an example of the selfless contribution of all Commonwealth personnel who have served throughout the RAF’s history.


"We should never forget their sacrifices which have defended our freedom and kept us safe.”

Air Vice-Marshal Chris Elliot, boss of the RAF Benevolent Fund, hailed Sgt Brown’s “exceptional and selfless” service.

She told The Sun: “His commitment to the Royal Air Force and the nation will be remembered long in to the future.

“Flt Sgt Brown, like many others who served in Bomber Command, their service was exceptional and selfless.”

Lyrics:

California love
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of L.A
In the city of good ol' Watts
In the city, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin', we keep it rockin'
Now let me welcome everybody to the Wild Wild West
A state that's untouchable like Eliot Ness
The track hits your eardrum like a slug to your chest
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex
We in that Sunshine State where the bomb-ass hemp be
The state where you never find a dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
Lean mean money-making-machines servin' fiends
I been in the game for 10 years makin' rap tunes
Ever since honeys was wearin' Sassoon
Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me
Diamonds shinin', lookin' like I robbed Liberace
It's all good, from Diego to the Bay
Your city is the bomb if your city makin' pay
Throw up a finger if you feel the same way
Dre puttin' it down for Californ-i-a
California knows how to party
California knows how to party (Yes, they do)
In the city of L.A
In the city of good ol' Watts
In the city, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin', we keep it rockin'
Shake, shake it, baby
Shake, shake it, shake it baby
Shake, shake it, mama
Shake it, Cali
Shake, shake it, baby
Shake, shake it
Shake, shake it mama
Shake it
Out on bail, fresh out of jail, California dreamin'
Soon as I step on the scene, I'm hearin' hoochies screamin'
Fiendin' for money and alcohol, the life of a Westside player
Where cowards die and the strong ball
Only in Cali where we riot, not rally, to live and die
In L.A. we wearin' Chucks, not Ballys (yeah, that's right)
Dressed in Locs and Khaki suits, and ride is what we do
Flossin' but have caution: we collide with other crews
Famous because we program
Worldwide, let them recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans
Bumpin' and grindin' like a slow jam
It's Westside, so you know the Row won't bow down to no man
Say what you say, but give me that bomb beat from Dre
Let me serenade the streets of L.A
From Oakland to Sac-town, the Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put their mack down; give me love!
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of L.A
In the city of good ol' Watts
In the city, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin', we keep it rockin'
Shake, shake it, baby
Shake, shake it
Shake, shake it, mama
Shake it, Cali
Shake, shake it, baby
Shake, shake it
Shake, shake it mama
Shake it, Cali
Uh, yeah, uh, uh, Long Beach in the house
Uh, yeah, Oaktown
Oakland definitely in the house
Frisco, Frisco
And you know L.A. up in this
Pasadena, where you at?
Yeah, Inglewood
Inglewood always up to no good
Even Hollywood tryin' to get a piece, baby
Sacramento, Sacramento where you at?
Throw it up, y'all! Throw it up, throw it up!
I can't see ya
Let's show these fools how we do it on this Westside
'Cause you and I know it's the best side
Yeah, that's right
West Coast, West Coast
California love
California love, yeah
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of L.A
In the city of good ol' Watts
In the city, the city of Compton
We keep 'em rockin', we keep 'em rockin'

Just come on shake, shake it, baby
Baby, baby, shake it mama, shake it mama, shake it mama

Lyrics:
I call you, when I need you my heart′s on fire
You come to me, come to me, wild and wild
You come to me
Give me everything I need

Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak the language of love like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong, take my heart
And make it strong, baby

You′re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met

I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the start of every night and every day
In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms
I could be in no better place

You′re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met

I′m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Oh, tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

Each time you leave me I start losing control
You're walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I′m alone
Oh, baby, don't let go

Oh, you′re the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met

I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Oh, tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

You′re the best
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met

I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Oh, tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

Oh, you′re the best!

'Black WWII RAF Pilot Who Died Alone Honoured by Hundreds at Funeral'

Flight Sergeant Peter Brown was born in Jamaica in 1926 and died alone in London at 96 years old.

With no known relatives in the UK, a campaign sought to organise a military funeral for the WWII veteran - who was part of the so-called 'Pilots of the Caribbean'.

And after a monumental effort, he was finally laid to rest. Report by Alex Reed.
