David is a long-serving and dedicated volunteer at St Paul’s Cathedral who is a trained guide and school facilitator. David and his family were evacuated from London during World War II for a short time before returning to London and living their lives under the shadow of the Blitz. He shares his personal story with us in the hope that we can share it with others and can learn from his experience.
