EastEnders actress June Brown shares her wartime memories, from being an evacuee to seeing Coventry go up in flames after German raids.
We hear from a man whose life was saved by an act of great courage from his sister who sheltered him from a bomb attack on a London school.

There is also the moving story of an Indian soldier who saved the life of his British commanding officer and a stirring performance of a wartime classic by the world's only one-handed concert pianist Nicholas McCarthy.
