LEGACY AUSTRALIA was
represented at the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain concert
held at Chartwell, the home of Sir Winston Churchill. Sept 2010.
Legatee President Lindsay Birrell London Legacy, and his partner Jenny
DUNN, who are volunteers at Chartwell, took part in the function
dressing up in 1940's clothes.
Lindsay was playing the part of Bill Thompson Churchill's only police
detective bodyguard during the War, Jenny was playing the part of a
staff secretary at the Cabinet War Room during the war.
The RAF Band played all the old war time music, a big screen showed
many war time film clips, Churchill speeches, London being bombed etc.
A spitfire and a hurricane put on a display over Chartwell and the
night ended with fireworks.
Guests included Dame Vera Lynn and Randolf Churchill, great grand son,
who closed the evening with a speech thanking everyone for their
presence. |
