On 17th December 1983, London was bustling with Christmas shoppers. Tourists and locals flocked to the famous 'Harrods' for thier Christmas treasures.
Shortly after lunch, Police recieve a coded message from the IRA, warning of a vehicle loaded with explosives.
Police rush to the scene to evacuate and allow them to deal with this deadly threat.
Where they too late? Was it ignited prematurely? Why Harrods?
2 officers were killed, alongside 3 bystanders, 1 officer dying several days later, and one officer was maimed, suffering life changing injuries. A police dog 'Queenie' was also killed.
Tune in and hear this tragic story.
