In today's 'Small Island, Big Stories' episode, hosts Mel and Perry pay tribute to the Occupation tapestry of Jersey. This incredible crafted legacy was left to Jersey Heritage  by a talented group of people who dedicated hours of their time to put together a momentous piece of art. The tapestry tells Jersey's unique story of the Island struggle during the Second World War. 

Three very special guest speakers join Mel and Perry; Wayne Audrain the person who created the designs. Clarissa Maine, the coordinator of the panel of St. Peter and Anne-Marie Willing, who stitched and documented the project of her home parish. 

You can see the Occupation Tapestry at the Jersey Maritime Museum.  There are stories about the Occupation and Liberation of Jersey available on the Jersey Heritage website.
