HM The Queen's visit to Bletchley Park is wonderful.

It pays tribute to two different groups of people: those that worked at Bletchley Park during World War II and those that worked to save Bletchley Park and honour the memory of the work done there.

The story of Bletchley Park is the story of a battle of minds that supported and helped guide the physical battles of World War II. It is the story of one part of the start of the computer revolution. And it is a story of the power of diversity: the people who worked at Bletchley Park were drawn from all walks of life and brought together because of their ability.
