For those who missed it BBC Points West had a special Blitz edition on Wednesday night. It included part of the Arno's Vale ceremony, interviews with people who experienced the Blitz, still pictures plus part of an air raid training film filmed in the city. It is available on iPlayer at the moment if you search for "Points West".

Thank you, Chris, for pointing us in the direction of the Points West coverage of the 70th anniversary of the first Bristol Blitz and the memorial service held, yesterday, which I've now watched on iPlayer. I found it very moving. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
