About this event

Battle of Britain Day is observed on 15 September each year, marking a significant aerial battle during World War II when the Royal Air Force defended the UK against attacks by the German Luftwaffe.

This day is commemorated for its importance in demonstrating that Germany could be defeated, which was crucial for the Allied forces. The battle itself was a pivotal moment in the war, showcasing the resilience of British forces and their ability to protect the nation from invasion.

Rochdale Borough Council, in partnership with Rochdale Veterans Breakfast Club, will raise the RAF Roundel Flag on Thursday, 11 September 2025.
