Pauline Alexander was one of five siblings who all served in the Second World War .

Her father died in 1943 and three of her brothers were killed during the conflict.

The 101-year-old has never publicly talked about her wartime experience.

She wants the VE Day 80th anniversary events to be a chance to reflect on the "unnecessary" conflicts we see today that are driven by "pure greed".
