SUSAN Herivel’s father must have had an incredible story to tell. A codebreaker during the Second World War, it wasn’t until years later that John Herivel was able to tell his family about the breakthrough he made in cracking secret German codes.

So it’s fitting that 74 years to the day that he made the discovery at Bletchley Park, a blue plaque has been unveiled in his honour.

Miss Herivel decided to make her own because she said she was told he didn’t fit certain criteria. And she has done a fine job with the plaque unveiled for all to see.

A fitting tribute to a truly remarkable man.
