Living History With Mat Mclachlan

Mat is joined again by legendary London battle guide, Steve Hunnisett, to explore more sites that tell the story of London's wartime past.Sites visited:- Salvation Army HQ, where an amateur photographer captured iconic images of London in flames during the Blitz- The Royal Exchange, where a direct bomb hit created 'the largest crater in England'- Two extraordinary war memorials - one from the Napoleonic Wars and one from the First World War - that tell the stories of Londoners who volunteered to fight- An unassuming jewellery shop, where a hero lost his life trying to foil a robbery in the dark days of WW2- The Merchant Navy Memorial, that remembers more than 35,000 sailors lost during both world wars, and tells the story of some of the most remarkable ships to ever take to sea.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/ZmtMluJtB74?si=3tH0bepMXPvGwSO1To book a tour of London's wartime sites with Steve, visit https://www.blitzwalkers.co.uk/Presenter: Mat McLachlanGuest: Steve HunnisettProducer: Jess Stebni
