A wonderful visit to @ChartwellNT yesterday. It’s always clear to see why Winston Churchill loved this place. The house always feels homely and welcoming, and the gardens and grounds so beautiful. @katieculture #veday80thanniversary

THE SERVICE OF YOUTH: #ww2 was not only won by adults. Through numerous youth organisations, children played their part on #britain's #HomeFront. Using rare artefacts, I tell the history of these forgotten groups only in the current @britainatwar magazine
