This #HeritageTreasures day by The National Lottery, we look at the story of a stained glass WW2 war memorial window. The 3m high window removed from Aylestone Working Men’s Club in Leicester and found on display at an auction house A tale of last minute rescue and goodwill.

These are two memorials which have recently arrived with the project. Westcotes Congregational WW1 and WW2. We have very little information about either, or the church itself, so any help would be appreciated... #Leicester @BBCLeicester @leicslive

In late Aug 1940 the pressure was building on the RAF Here is Brian ‘Sandy’ Lane, commanding 19 Squadron, only 23 years old Men like him were going into combat up to 5 times a day. The fatigue was telling Here’s the final episode of my podcast series: https://t.co/OeywtiLKdS

Interesting to find a memorial within the @CWGC plot to a number of Belgian soldiers who died of their wounds at the nearby 5th Northern General Hospital, Leicester. Very sad to see that one of the soldiers is unidentified. 🇧🇪 📍Leicester (Welford Road) Cemetery
