Hope and Glory
Stuart Maconie
'These were the days that made us, and these are the day trips to find them. Should we do a flask? And are you sure you'll be warm enough in that coat?'
In Hope & Glory Stuart Maconie goes in search of the places, people & events that have shaped modern Britain. Starting with the death of Queen Victoria, to the Battle of the Somme & the General Strike, & on to the docking of the Empire Windrush & Bobby Moore raising the Jules Rimet trophy, he chooses a defining moment in our nation's story from each decade of the last century & explores its legacy today. Some were glorious days, some were tragic, or even shameful, but each has played its part in making us who we are as a nation. From pop stars to politicians, Suffragettes to punks, this is a journey around Britain in search of who we are..
