Sunday September 7 – 2008 – Stars Set to Recall 1940

Major show business stars are coming together on September 7 at the London Palladium for a Royal Gala performance to pay tribute to the men who won the Battle of Britain in 1940.

Titled, Fly with The Stars - A Tribute to The Few, the evening of musical nostalgia will be held in the presence of HRH Prince Michael of Kent, Patron of the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust, which maintains the National Memorial to "The Few" at Capel-le-Ferne, Kent. The show will be produced by Robert Douglas Productions, with Bill Deamer as director and choreographer and Gareth Valentine as musical director.

Stars who have agreed to give their services on the night (subject to availability) include:- Anton du Beke, Blake, Brian Conley, Robert Hardy, Marilyn Hill Smith, Roy Hudd, Celia Imrie, Millicent Martin, Alistair McGowan, Robert Meadmore, Julian Ovenden, Charlotte Page, Nicholas Parsons, Neil Pearson, Wendi Peters, Su Pollard, Anne Rogers, Donna Steele, Clare Sweeney, Christopher Timothy, Sally Ann Triplett, Bradley Walsh, Honeysuckle Weeks and Shona White.

Supported by the Air Force Board, the show will also feature the Central Band of the RAF.

The Royal Gala will take place 68 years to the day after the German Luftwaffe launched its first mass attack on London. It is expected that a number of the men who flew into action to protect Britain in 1940 will be in the audience.

Richard Hunting, Chairman of the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust, commented: "The National Memorial plays a vital role in ensuring that today's and future generations remember the heroism of 1940. We need funds to maintain the Memorial and to develop the site. We therefore hope that the historic London Palldium will have a full house of young and old keen to see the stars of today recreate the hits of 1940."
