UPDATE: IDENTIFIED AS ST CHAD'S CHURCH, SHREWSBURY
The following pictures were taken at an Air Force church parade of some sort. They were taken very late in the War or very soon after it ended. The only thing that is certain is that they were taken in the British Isles as the man leading the parade was F/Lt (later S/Ldr) Mieczyslaw Walenty Szklarski, formerly of 304 Squadron (Polish) and later served with the RAF based at the Royal Aerospace Establishment at Farnborough. Except during bombing raids and anti-submarine patrols, he never served outside Britain once he arrived here, via France, in the early days of the War.

The picture above shows what looks like a telephone box but not painted red. If it is a telephone box (by no means certain). Yellow ones were only used in the Channel Islands - but may not have been painted yellow during WW2. White ones were only used on the private telephone system in Hull.
