The body of the Duke of Windsor was flown home to Britain today in an RAF VC 10. The aircraft arrived at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire and was met by the Duke and Duchess of Kent. After a short service in the station church attended only by the Duke and Duchess of Kent, the coffin will lie in the church on a catafalque guarded by RAF officers until it is moved to Windsor late tonight.
