The memory of two heroic airmen who sacrificed themselves to save others were honoured with a special parade and service.
The service, which was organised by the Friends of West Smethwick Park, commemorated a plane crash 80 years ago in July 31, 1944 which saw the two airmen die after they attempted to crash land their failing plane.
