Thanks so much for your time if you watched #BlitzSpirit SPIRIT tonight on @BBCOne.

I'm just overwhelmed by the lovely lovely comments.

Thanks, too, to the ghosts of our six storytellers for their service and sacrifice:

Air Raid Patrol Warden Barbara Nixon ...

@snowspain What a fantastic photo!

[Home Front in WW2 @HomeFrontWW2]

The #Blitz was experienced far beyond just London: as #WW2 continued so many cities across Great Britain, from Bath to Coventry (both seen here) and others like Canterbury, Hull, Swansea and York were all under fire from German bombs. #blitzspirit

@Swifty862 Just for you.

Today is #NationalTeaDay - Tea was such an important commodity on the Home Front. This was taken during the Plymouth Blitz. #WW2

[Home Front in WW2 @HomeFrontWW2]

@Swifty862 Indeed, not enough space to list them all!
