Thanks so much for your time if you watched #BlitzSpirit SPIRIT tonight on @BBCOne.
I'm just overwhelmed by the lovely lovely comments.
Thanks, too, to the ghosts of our six storytellers for their service and sacrifice:
Air Raid Patrol Warden Barbara Nixon ...
The #Blitz was experienced far beyond just London: as #WW2 continued so many cities across Great Britain, from Bath to Coventry (both seen here) and others like Canterbury, Hull, Swansea and York were all under fire from German bombs. #Blitzspirit

#Blitz80: #OTD in 1940 the Blitz began with the bombing of London. Civilian bombing right across the United Kingdom became one of the defining experiences of #HomeFront Britain during #WW2.
Just had a fab message about a land girl originally from Liverpool like my gran! I wonder, from 80k women who formed the @WomensLandArmy how many ended up living out the rest of their lives in farming? #ww2#history#farming
