Now, let's hear from 91-year-old Sunderland man, Ron Lawson, to find out his memories
00:05
of growing up during the war.
00:13
I was six when the war started and 12 when it finished.
00:17
As a young lad, I think you've said before that you just thought it was a big adventure.
00:21
It was. It was just so much fun. It was something that will occupy us.
00:29
We were never worried about anything like that, not at my age.
00:36
It was a great time, really.
00:38
The air raids themselves worsened in 1943 and reached a stage where it was pointless
00:48
going to bed.
00:50
We just went straight into the air raid shelter because you knew very well there would be
00:55
a raid.
00:57
The raids went on for a few hours.
