101-year-old Second World War veteran shares her memories of D-Day on 80th anniversary
Charlotte 'Betty' Webb in Worcestershire worked at Bletchley Park
One of Worcestershire's Second World War veterans has been sharing some of her memories from D-Day as the event reaches it's 80th anniversary.
101-year-old Charlotte 'Betty' Webb in Wythall, was 18 in 1941 when she joined the team at Bletchley Park, where they worked to break down coded military messages from Germany and other countries.
She says she didn't hear much news at all about the D-Day landings taking place on the 6 June 1944.
"We just had to wait for the news to trickle through as and when really," Betty said.
"The sad thing was at my level, I certainly didn't know anything about it on the actual day, it was some time before we were given the news, but it wasn't immediate.
"Clearly the senior people at Bletchley might've known much more about it, but we just had to wait."
Events are taking place throughout Herefordshire and Worcestershire today to commemorate the occasion.
In Worcester at Cathedral Square, there will be the raising of the flag, along with events at the Guildhall, before in the evening a beacon will be lit at Fort Royal Park.
Ross-on-Wye will light their town beacon later on in the day.
