What a lovely event Dave, glad you enjoyed yourselves. We had a 1940's weekend not so long ago at Sheringham, and there was jitterbugging there too. Lots of 1940's vehicles, and of course the steam train runs from Weybourne to Sheringham. Many many folk in costume.

Agree that people were smaller then. I remember the decades just after the War, and I don't ever remember seeing a hugely fat person. Diets were sparse but far healthier, lots of veg, no sweets (rationing) no 'fast food', more physical activity and so on.

I foolishly thought once the Wedding was over, that would be it. But no.
All evening there were interviews with spectators, clips from the thing, opinions on The Dress. Over and over, on all the main channels. Husband was in the study watching The Match Highlights again. He said that Chelsea DID play well and deserved to win.
