The cloisters at Norwich cathedral (it was founded as a Benedictine monastery). And a commemorative plaque with personal meaning for me.

I didn’t know that your dad was a survivor in such a tragic battle. And to live to be more than 100, he was very blessed indeed!

He tells a fascinating story. It’s on record at the Imperial War Museum and he’s been interviewed for various news programmes
