Denis Norden recounts his visit to Belsen

Denis Norden, famous for hosting It'll Be Alright On The Night, has spoken for the first time about finding himself at a concentration camp after it was liberated. Whilst serving in the RAF during the Second World War, he formed entertainment units with the likes of Eric Sykes, to put on shows for the troops and to get off guard duty. Needing some lighting for one of their shows, they were told some could be found at some camp down the road. They had no idea what type of camp they were heading to.

First broadcast on The Robert Peston Interview Show (with Eddie Mair), 22 June 2015.
