A Sunderland historian - who had the ear of the likes of Sir Winston Churchill and Harold Macmillan - will be in the spotlight at a talk this week.
Peter Liddle, a former university lecturer, has interviewed thousands of people in his life and that also includes Barnes Wallis who invented the bouncing bomb.
Talk is vividly illustrated
He has been lined up as the speaker for the January instalment of the Sunderland Antiquarian Society monthly illustrated talks.
It will be held on Thursday, January 16, in the Bethany Hall in the Bede Tower in Ryhope Road.
Doors open at 6.40pm for the talk which starts at 7.30pm and Antiquarian Society secretary Philip Curtis said: “All are welcome. There is disabled access.
‘It should be a fascinating evening’
“The talk is well illustrated and its title is A Lifetime In History’.
