THIS IS YOUR LIFE - Yvonne Bailey (née Baseden) was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the BBC Television Theatre.

During the Second World War Yvonne joined the Women's Auxiliary Air Force as a clerk, and later, became an agent for the Special Operations Executive - a clandestine organisation formed to encourage and facilitate espionage and sabotage behind enemy lines.

At only 22, Yvonne became the youngest woman to be parachuted into France - her field name was "Odette".

THIS IS YOUR LIFE - The Reverend James Butterworth, a Methodist minister, was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the BBC Television Theatre.

His pioneering youth work and fund raising led to the creation of Clubland, a Christian institution for underpriviledged children in Walworth, London.

Clubland was opened in 1939 by Queen Mary, a patron of the institution for many years, and has since received the support of many famous names.
