D-Day: 80 years on

Adam hears about the "Their Finest Hour" archive with stories and artefacts from WWII.

Adam hears about "Their Finest Hour" - an online archive which has over 25,000 never-before-seen stories and artefacts from the Second World War - including the very last letter a son posted his mother.

Plus, 92-year-old Michael from Thame tells us what he did as a 12-year-old student so he could watch all the planes taking off and heading over to France.
