Vox pop reflections from 'Duffy Day' 2013 attendees

Hear from Duffy Day attendees: Anne Clements, Clare Lees, John Stokes and Jill Gardiner all share their reflections.

Vox pops were recorded in situ - so you also hear some King’s College London background noise!

With thanks to Alex Belsey, Clare Brant and Nia Hughes for recording the vox pops.
