“The day was fantastic. The children's imagination was captured right from the moment that they walked into the room with the music playing and Churchill sat at the desk with the type writer etc. Over a week later they are still talking about it and we had to add the battle of El Alamein onto a timeline that we were looking at as they noticed it missing! “
