The war broke out when I was 15. I lived in London during the bombing and went to work in the Co-op. I saw the docks on fire and then when I was 18 I joined the WAAF and trained in Bedford.
I’d met my husband at the age of 14 - he worked as a draughtsmen for the M.o.S. and M.A.P. After we got married I was transferred to Bomber Command, High Wycombe and from there I was eventually demobbed.
We have now celebrated our diamond wedding with congratulations from the Queen.
