Anthea Turner, Michael Green, Bernie Ecclestone, Britt Ekland, the model Caprice and Robert Robinson, the former host of the television show Call My Bluff, have all fallen victim.Mr Norris said yesterday: "There is no great damage done, but obviously it is a shock to the system."It was all over in a matter of seconds and I have lost a possession that I valued very highly, but I am none the worse for wear and life goes on."Mr Norris was in Buckhurst Hill for a business meeting. He said the robber jumped out of a car that pulled up behind him. By the time he was aware of what was happening, the youth had got back into the car and was speeding off.Essex police confirmed that a 55-year-old man had reported the incident. They said the youth was black, aged between 14 and 19, 5ft 8ins tall, slim, had short hair, was cleanly shaved and had a thin face. He escaped with an accomplice in a silver Ford Fiesta.Mr Norris suffered reddening of his wrist. He had owned the gold watch for about 20 years, a spokesman said.. Plans to sacrifice one of England's oldest cathedral cities in the event of a German invasion during the Second World War have been discovered by archaeologists recording the last surviving remnants of home defence works.

Plans to sacrifice one of England's oldest cathedral cities in the event of a German invasion during the Second World War have been discovered by archaeologists recording the last surviving remnants of home defence works. Worcester, with its medieval cathedral, Queen Anne guildhall and narrow streets of half-timbered houses, would have been flattened by Britain's Secret Army, turning the area into a tank trap to hold up a German advance, which the authorities expected to be launched from the west.It would have been the first military action to have taken place in the city since the 17th century, when royalist gunners fired salvoes from Fort Royal Hill overlooking the cathedral in the last battle of the Civil War to give Charles II the chance to escape to France.The plans for the second Battle of Worcester were found by a team of amateur researchers working with the Worcestershire County Council's archaeological service on the Second World War project organised by the Council for British Archaeology.They discovered the bases and battle plans of six local units of the Secret Army, the underground militia of civilians who would have formed the core of the resistance and whose existence has only recently been officially acknowledged.The team of researchers examined dozens of "pill" boxes and other surviving fortifications in fields and on hilltops in the countryside around Worcester and collected first-hand evidence from people who remembered the war.The researchers noticed that the pill boxes and other defence works in the area were nearly all facing towards the west and they found the remnants of glider traps designed to wreck landings by airborne German paratroops. Malcolm Atkin, the county archaeology officer, said: "Worcester was intended to be a centre of resistance to give the British Army time to regroup and is unlikely to have survived the inevitable blitzkrieg. It had always been assumed that Worcestershire would have been a backwater during an invasion, but our discoveries show it would actually have been on the front line."Although the main invasion would probably have been across the English Channel, the authorities feared a second attack along the Bristol Channel and through Wales. The government was also worried which side the Irish Republic might have supported, so the defence of the county was taken very seriously."Local Home Guard units would have played a vital part in the operation and were expected to hold out for at least 48 hours, but their firepower would have been vastly inferior to that of the invaders.

Their weapons included a type of antiquated artillery piece, which had originally seen service during the 19th century in the first of the Royal Navy's iron-clad battleships.Another piece was the amazingly crude "blacker bombard" or "spigot mortar", an anti-tank weapon fired with black powder explosive that was first used in the Middle Ages. This weapon had the drawback that when a shell hit its target, the fins were liable to fly backwards along the original trajectory and kill the firer.The county archaeology service is planning to produce a booklet about the finds and is documenting the various sites found by the researchers so they can be included in the official national Sites and Monuments Record.. There were no plumes of oily black smoke to mark the way to Dunkirk yesterday and the Channel was lumpier than the milky calm of 60 years ago. There were no plumes of oily black smoke to mark the way to Dunkirk yesterday and the Channel was lumpier than the milky calm of 60 years ago. But the "Little Ships" had not changed and neither had that curious Dunkirk spirit, which unified Britain back in 1940 and has inspired the owners of those vessels to pour fortunes into keeping them afloat.For 24 hours, the 62 Dunkirk veterans had lain stormbound in Dover harbour, unable to repeat the 39-mile voyage they made - some several times - in those nine days of evacuation.Then yesterday morning the weather lifted.

The sun, which had lit every daylight hour of Operation Dynamo in 1940, turned the sullen Channel a sparkling green and, one by one, the Little Ships sailed to form a flotilla filling every man and woman taking part with pride and nostalgia.But yesterday's return to Dunkirk was not just for them. At every breakwater and pier at Dover yesterday morning there were crowds of spectators to wave the vessels adieu "You all look fantastic. A credit to Britain," called the Dover lifeboat's coxswain, Dave Pascall, over the loudhailer as, one by one, we left Granville Dock.As each made its way through the dock gates it was time for a roll-call of maritime gallantry There was Firefly, the smallest, at 26 feet. She had run backwards and forwards, ferrying out small groups of British Expeditionary Forcesoldiers who waited, shoulder deep in their thousands, for what Churchill called "a miracle of deliverance".There was Sundowner, owned in 1940 by Charles Lightoller, the second officer of the Titanic. He took 130 on board and when he got them to Ramsgate the boat almost capsized as they disembarked.Our own boat was Bluebird of Chelsea, a motor yacht exquisitely restored by its owner Martin Summers and originally owned by Sir Malcolm Campbell, who held the world land speed record. Bluebird made two round trips laden with hundreds of troops and spent several days and nights as a ferry off the beaches.Then there was Fermain V from Guernsey, which escaped the Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands just in time to sail to the Dunkirk rescue.

Fermain was still a ferry working out of St Peter Port four years ago and has since been taken over by the Dunkirk Little Ships Restoration Trust.Eventually, almost exactly at the planned time of 3.30pm, the flotilla entered the mouth of Dunkirk harbour. On this day 60 years ago the seaward end of the mole was bombed by the Luftwaffe and cut off from the rest of the pier. Now it is bridged by a gangway, left as a memorial to those who died there.In the harbour, the French reception began. There were hundreds there to greet us, including old poilus offering victory signs and a piper playing a mournful tune as those around him cheered.An estimated 600-700 Little Ships went to Dunkirk and about 100 were sunk. Of the 338,000 British and French soldiers rescued, they brought away many thousands.
