Peter Snow, Ann Macmillan

BBC and ITV news presenter turned respected historian, Peter has previously appeared at Henley alongside his son Dan. This year, he is joined by his wife – longtime CBC correspondent Ann – to talk about War Stories:their moving account of 34 ordinary men and women, swept up in war, who pushed the boundaries of love, bravery and suffering. Their tales span four centuries, from Edward Seagar who survived the Charge of the Light Brigade and Magdalene de Lancey who tenderly nursed her dying husband at Waterloo to Second World War spy Krystyna Skarbe.
