Handling part of the V-1 flying bomb that hit the Guards Chapel on this day in 1944.
Sofie Cacoyannis got the rare chance to hold a fragment of the bomb that caused the death of 121 people at the spiritual home for the British Army’s Household Division.
A mixed military and civilian congregation had gathered for the Sunday service when, shortly after 11:00, the bomb nose-dived into the roof of the building on the western end.
