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.
