Extra - E38 - Lady Marion Body
July 2014
HRH The Duchess of Cambridge visited Bletchley
Park on the 18th of June to mark the officially opening
of the 8.5 million pound restorations, but she also
had a much more personal reason for her visit as
both her paternal grandmother & great aunt worked
in Hut 16 at The Government Codes and Cipher
School during World War 2.
Lady Marion Body worked alongside the twins, Valerie
and Mary Glassborow and one of the highlights of the
Royal Visit was when the Princess sat down with Lady
Body to find out more about what her ancestors had
done during the war.
In this EXTRA’s episode we bring you both an interview
that Podcast host Katherine Lynch recorded with Lady
Body a few weeks before the special day and one from
Gareth Lloyd of BBC 3 Counties Radio, a few minutes
after her meeting with HRH.
Thanks to Nick, Gareth, Nia and Mark from BBC Three
Counties for allowing us to bring you their interview.
