'I held D-Day secret for decades': Torquay's Peggy
On June 6 1944, the Allies launched the biggest air and seaborne invasion in history. Unseen at the time, thousands of women in the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS) would play a crucial role, from intercepting enemy radio signals, to assisting in the co-ordination of naval operations.
Peggy Harding, from Torquay, played a key role in the operation. She told her story to John Acres.
