A warning has been issued around access to a Nuneaton cemetery during a special service. On Sunday, September 24, a special service will take place at the Oaston Road cemetery to mark Battle of Britain Day.
The annual event remembers British Commonwealth and Polish airmen who lost their lives while serving at Nuneaton 's two local wartime airfields - RAF Nuneaton and RAF Bramcote during the Second World War.
Ex-service groups and members of the public can take part in the Battle of Britain Day Service of Reconciliation service. The parade of standards will form up at 1.45pm with the service set to start at 2pm.

Those who do attend are asked to street parking in Oaston Road and on the Whitacre Road industrial estate. Organisers have also explained that the service may cause some disruption.
"We do appreciate the fact that this event may cause some minor disruption to the normality of the Oaston Road Cemetery on this day and there will be a restriction on the movement of vehicles within the area of the war graves where the service is being held," organisers said.
"However we will try to minimise any inconvenience to other visitors to the cemetery and would actually encourage anyone who may be visiting the site to pay their respects to their relatives to come and join us."
The Oaston Road-based cemetery is unique as it not only plays home to Commonwealth War Graves but also those of the Polish and Germans. There are over 40 Commonwealth War Graves, Navy, Army and RAF, as well as the graves of 29 Polish airmen who were serving in the RAF and 17 German servicemen.
