His daughter Charlotte has just released a record entitled If you Hadn’t Done What You Did and she performed this after a reading by her father of The Few speech.
She said: “I feel very honoured to be able to commemorate this event at the home of the BBMF and with those who defend us even today. IF they hadn’t done what they did where would we be now?”
