Wythall’s WW2 codebreaker salutes D-Day 'heroes'

Available for over a year

Worcestershire's Betty Webb MBE worked at Bletchley Park, intercepting Nazi messages during the Second World War. The 101-year-old pays her own tribute to those involved in the Normandy Landings, saying they "never questioned" the job they had to do. Betty, who's been awarded a Légion d’Honneur, France's highest honour, for her work, has also revealed what she remembers of those seismic few months, when our servicemen landed on the Normandy beaches. Our reporter went to see Betty in her home in Wythall.
