An elderly man sits on the pile of rubble which was once his home, following a devastating V1 attack in the Highland Road and Lunham Road area of Upper Norwood.  This man had been for a walk as his wife prepared the Sunday lunch, and returned to find that his house had been destroyed and his wife killed.  His dog can be seen at his feet, as Civil Defence workers carry on their work around him.
