Katherine Jenkins and Michael Aspel celebrate the heroes of the Home Front. Student and MasterChef contestant Ben Ellison spends a month living on wartime rations.

Forces sweetheart Katherine Jenkins is joined by Michael Aspel to celebrate the heroes of the Home Front in a special week of programmes to commemorate the week 70 years ago that Britain went to war with Nazi Germany.

Twenty-one-year-old student and MasterChef contestant Ben Ellison spends a month living on wartime rations and the programme pays tribute to a Home Front hero, Thomas Hopper Alderson, who won Britain's first George Cross when he saved 11 lives after a German air raid on Bridlington, North Yorkshire.

Antiques expert Tim Wonnacott continues his search for the everyday wartime objects that have become collectables.
