At the beginning of World War II - seventy years ago this week - Neville Chamberlain's government gave the order to evacuate civilians, especially children, from major cities and areas where there were sensitive military targets.

A service at St Paul's Cathedral will mark the anniversary of the start of that great evacuation. Correspondent Nicola Stanbridge retraced the journey of one evacuee from town to country.
