In my garden I have two of these and the flower looks exactly like a Juneberry. But I'm not sure - I've seen no berries on it and unfortunately the flower petals get blown off shortly after appearing, we have an issue with wind here...

Attached an image here to help of the leaves and flowers remaining - any thoughts? The is zone 9, south west UK.

Much appreciated. It looks like the berry is coming up, right where the flower was before the petals blew away. If you have any experience with these it would be great to know if that sounds right also?

I would say Amelanchier, yes, though not sure what species as to whether it's precisely a Juneberry.  The little bronzy folded young leaves, the five petals rather separated, the prominent sepals remaining on top of the berries and general "apple" feeling to it.  It's flowering at the right time - there's one round the corner from me flowering, though I'm a bit further north than you.
