Judi Dench looks in the mirror 'all the time' after finding out about her hidden heritage

“And now I believe there are Swedish connections too, this may well prompt a visit there as well!”

She added, beaming: “I look in the mirror all the time now and think ‘Aw Scandinavia!'”

On her father’s side, Judi learnt more about his wartime history and was left feeling “deeply moved” after seeing photographs.

“I had known, of course, about his Military Cross and bar but being told the details and actually seeing a photograph of where it had happened was deeply moving for me,” she said.
