Glen Miller

Although not born in Bedford, Glenn Miller and his band were based here during the war.  It was from here that many of his morale-boosting broadcasts were made and from where he flew to entertain the Allied troops in war-torn Europe. 

 This bronze bust of Glenn Miller is in an alcove on the façade of Bedford Corn Exchange.
