The Coventry Blitz: The biggest attack on a British city in World War Two

For the 80th VE Day anniversary commemorations, Today's Anna Foster presents from Coventry Cathedral.

The Coventry Blitz - on 14 November 1940 - was the single most concentrated attack on a British city in the whole of the war.

Hundreds of Luftwaffe bombers dropped more than 30 thousand bombs here. Half the city's homes were damaged or destroyed. So was the Cathedral, the Daimler factory, the central library, the market hall, and hundreds of shops and public buildings.
