Short interview conducted by Vicky MaCdonald during the ‘Longest Yarn’ with visitors that shared personal memories and family stories in reaction to the exhibition. The Longest Yarn exhibition was a month-long tribute to the War Effort behind the D-Day Landings of 1944 - displaying a 3D tapestry depicting D-Day in 80 panels – was held at the Holy Trinity Church, Llandudno (October 2–27, 2024).

Eirian Strange shares memories of her mother, Joyce, who worked during WWII making hand grenades and would leave playful notes inside them. Once, a soldier visited to thank Joyce after finding her note in a grenade that saved his life. Joyce wore protective gear for her work, and after the war, she returned to family life. Eirian also recalls her uncle who fought in WWII and her grandfather, who was gassed in WWI. These memories honor her family’s sacrifices and reflect the legacy of wartime resilience.
