Second World War child internees reunited....

Update: 2015-09-25

Description

During the Second World War, hundreds of British children were interned in camps in Shanghai.

When the war ended, the children were brought on board HMS Belfast, and the crew organised a party.

Seventy years on, the warship - which is moored on the Thames - has hosted another celebration to commemorate the day.

Many of the 'children' from the Shanghai party were there, as well as one surviving member of the crew.

BBC London 94.9's David Friend was invited along.
