This will be followed by a recitation of a poem read by a student from Princes Risborough School. Reverend David Williams from St Marys Church Princes Risborough will then lead us in prayer. Following this, an international tribute will be read by Warrant Officer Stephen Mills of the Royal Air Forces.
