Header image description: A couple dances gracefully in front of a scene of London during World War Two. The woman wears a sparkling white gown and long gloves, while her partner is dressed in a dark blue military-style uniform. The scene is at nighttime, and behind the shoe are silhouettes of people dancing, rows of houses, and St Pauls Cathedral in the very background. In the sky is a moon, stars, beams of search lights and war planes.
