Courage Under Fire
Series honouring heroes from conflicts past and present. Tony Robinson shares stories of his RAF parents, who kept up morale as wartime entertainers.
Sir Tony Robinson talks of his passion for remembrance, shares stories of his RAF parents, who kept up morale as wartime entertainers, and is surprised by the facts behind his grandfather's medals won in the merchant navy in both world wars.
Historian Richard van Emden unearths a little-known story of marine musicians who fought at the Battle of Jutland, a son reads his father's farewell letter from the Falklands, and a veteran of Battle Back Centre returns to help others on a course designed to help them with their recoveries.
Sophie Raworth explores the world's largest collection of Victoria Crosses, on display at the Imperial War Museum, and JJ Chalmers hears the story of Jutland hero Jack Cornwell.
Gareth Malone and his choir Voices perform Brothers in Arms as a tribute to those who lost their lives during the Falklands conflict.
