Dorset woman knits and crochets D-Day tribute

When Lyn Standfield recently retired, she probably didn't think she'd spend up to six hours a day crocheting and knitting everything from replica rifles to a three-foot jeep.

Lyn, from Poole, is one of hundreds of crafters around the world helping to make an 80-metre-long woolly representation of D-Day, ahead of the 80th anniversary in June.

She's been chatting to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Solent's Steve Harris, who had a bit of a surprise for Lyn.
