Rare Blitz footage discovered by mayor's granddaughter

Previously unseen colour footage of London during the Blitz has been discovered, after lying in an attic for almost 70 years.

The amateur footage includes images of bombed-out landmarks such as the John Lewis department store on London's Oxford Street.

The 20 minute film was shot by the wartime mayor of Marylebone in west London, Alfred Coucher.

His granddaughter, Carolyn Keen, who discovered the footage, has talked about the significance of the material.
