Nov 2012: the unveiling by HRH the Princess Royal of a statue erected in Gordon Square in memory of Noor Inayat Khan (1914-44) who served as a British agent 'Codename Madeleine' during WW2.
Sadly she was captured by the enemy, in France, in late 1943 and detained in Germany where she was executed, as a spy, the following year. Despite fierce interrogation and torture by the Gestapo during her captivity, history has it she never 'broke' or provided the enemy with any information.
