In the week the Channel Islands celebrate 80 years of Liberation, Guernsey's Bailiff has unveiled a Blue Plaque honouring the agents of the Guernsey Active Secret Press.
Members of GASP risked their lives distributing uncensored news to the Guernsey public during the Second World War, when the Germans occupied the island.
The Blue Plaques scheme recognises past Guernsey people who have made important contributions to the Bailiwick and the wider world, so the island's population and visitors can learn about their work.
Today (6 May), GASP got theirs.
A crowd gathered to watch the Bailiff Sir Richard McMahon unveil the plaque at 34 St George’s Esplanade, where the team used to type out newsletters, hidden by the noise of the old Moulins bike shop.
In the crowd were sisters Helen Warley and Rachael Shaw, who had come over from Somerset to honour their great-uncle, Reginald Worley, who was a part of GASP.
Helen says it was lovely to see how many people cared, and that "Reggie's" effort would not be forgotten.
"It is a long-overdue memorial being raised, but I am so glad it is.
"The importance of doing it this year makes it even more poignant.
"He was upstairs writing the newsletter, and the Germans were coming in and having their bikes repaired; it was so close."
