Great photos - thanks, Pete! I enjoyed reading Paul's essay about Elizabeth II's Coronation Day!

It is the 5th photo down in the latest set. Sissons is on Lennon's right and Tarbuck his left.

Wonderful photos, Pete. This one reminded me of my schooldays. We used to stand in this pose (school uniform, not swimming trunks) in the classroom, and our revered deputy head said, ""Hands behind your backs, boys, not on your comforters." I didn't think anything of it at the time, but looking back....

I have often thought that Patty Boyd's story would make a fantastic feature film
