Have you spotted Jersey's hidden V for Victory?

Bravery came in many forms during the Occupation, but one act of defiance is perhaps less well known than it is obvious.

Towards the end of the Occupation, Joseph Le Guyader - a stonemason originally from St Brieuc in Brittany - was tasked with re-laying the Royal Square.

But he was also completing a task of his own - a V for victory right under the noses of the occupiers. It was only after the Liberation that the significance of the design came to light.

Joseph's grandson, Chris Le Guyader, told ITV Channel that although he never met him, Joseph was known as a quiet man.

Joseph Le Guyader was a stonemason originally from St Brieuc in Brittany.

Joseph knew the risk he was taking too, doing everything he could to keep the design hidden from enemy eyes by covering it with sand every evening.

It was in fact the same apprentice who went on to teach the next generation of Le Guyaders the art of masonry.

Chris is now third generation stonemason, having followed both his father and grandfather into the trade. With his son Jordan now in training, the family will soon have four generations of masons.

Joseph's legacy lives on through his family, including his great grandson who has been named after him.

Today, there is another Joseph in the family too - Chris' youngest son is named after his great-grandfather. Whilst he has not entered the family business, the history forms part of his story too.

At 22-years-old, freedom is not something Joseph has had to think about too much, but the last two months have impacted on his reflections too.
