Hear about some of the forgotten stories of lives lost in the London Blitz.

Crooner Al Bowlly is just one of 200 people commemorated in Hanwell Cemetery who died in Second World War bombing raids. Genealogist Jananne Rahman tells Bowlly's story and the stories of those less well-known, all civilian victims of the Blitz. You'll hear about their lives, their last hours, and how they came to be collectively buried in our borough.
