Second World War heroine honoured with blue plaque
English Heritage will today (28 August) unveil a blue plaque to the Second World War spy, Noor Inayat Khan. The new plaque will mark the house on Taviton Street in Bloomsbury that was her family home when she left for Nazi-occupied France in 1943 as an undercover radio operator. She was killed at Dachau concentration camp in 1944, having revealed nothing to her captors, not even her real name.
