Marguerite Garden at 77, has just been awarded the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest honour, for her work in the Resistance during the 2nd World War.

Marguerite was living with her family in the occupied village of Plomodiern in Brittany, and as a schoolgirl used to help arrange escape routes for British and American airmen, spy for MI6 and carry secret papers between Brittany and Paris.
Marguerite Garden joins Jenni to talk about how, from the age of 14, she risked her life daily for the French Resistance.
