We're taking a look at the life and legacy of Caroline Kennedy, the last surviving child of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and probably the most famous woman you know the least about.

From her early years as a global celebrity and the "First Child" of the White House, through to how, at just 5 years old, she dealt with the tragedy of her father's assassination, and later her cherished Uncle Bobby Kennedy. Through to the effect of her mother's marriage to Aristotle Onassis, and how she rose through trauma to become US Ambassador to both Japan and Australia.

Not to mention being the hidden inspiration for one of the world's favourite sing-along songs.

30th of December 1952, on a cold and dark night in a London still scarred by World War II, Albert Gunter was driving his number 78 bus on the usual route over Tower Bridge when the unthinkable happened.

Faced with a split-second decision, Albert hit the accelerator and saved the life of everyone on board, taking his bus soaring to the skies and into London urban legend.

A London Transport New Year's tale of quick thinking, bravery, the grand old River Thames, some stupendous acting chops, and the modest little war hero at the centre of it all.
