The People Remember

The Fallen (3x5)

Date de diffusion: Nov 11, 2016

Sophie and JJ are joined by Anneka Rice as she hears about her father's role in the Second World War for the first time. Anneka's dad helped to defend the city of Hull from intense German bombing raids but he never talked about it after the war. The family of a soldier killed in Afghanistan organise a motorbike ride in his honour, bringing together some of his former colleagues. Some of the service men and women who've been helped by the Royal British Legion's Battle Back Centre tell us why the work of the centre is so important. And there's a moving performance from opera soprano Melissa Alder as she sings a song for the fallen, written by Frederick Forsyth.
