Second World War “unlikely” spy Noor Inayat Khan is being honoured with a Blue Plaque.

The English Heritage tribute will mark the London family home which Khan left, for Nazi-occupied France, as an undercover radio operator in 1943.

Khan, of Indian and US descent, served in the Special Operations Executive – set up by Sir Winston Churchill in 1940.

“It is fitting that Noor Inayat Khan is the first woman of Indian origin to be remembered with a Blue Plaque. As people walk by, Noor’s story will continue to inspire future generations.
