Petroc Trelawny celebrates the 80th anniversary of VE Day with wartime music, archive, and memories.

Petroc Trelawny celebrates the 80th anniversary of VE Day with wartime music, archive, and memories. He meets two World War II veterans: Patricia Owtram (aged 101) and Christian Lamb (104) - remarkable women who were each awarded France鈥檚 highest order of merit, the L茅gion d鈥橦onneur. They recall their pivotal roles in work supporting D Day, and their love of music, during their hours off duty. Plus, there is live music from Sian Dicker and Francesca Lauri.
