Series marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Sophie Raworth visits the operation's communications headquarters, where a group of Wrens share their D-Day memories.

James Holland is given a tour of the miles of secret tunnels under Fort Southwick, Dan Snow explores the Navy's role in D-Day, and two former schoolgirls reveal what life was like as the troops began to arrive in their village.
