Well, weelittledrummer,
first time I met him , I was with Dave Bryant and we were singing at the premiere of Gallipoli at the National Film Theatre on the South Bank,and he was delightful,probably wondered who the hell we were
, but had more manners than Harold(PM) Wilson who just wanted to get to the bar!
second time,he had a good sense of humour,brilliant dad,(the kids were wearing baseball hats and jeans and their mum was still alive)I thought he was really just like anyone else having a great time with their kids, but then this was a private occasion and no press around.Maybe it is a shame that all we ever see is the formal picture? not only that, I am so old I remember when he was called " action man!" He really has not had the chance to show you what a great Head of State he could be!
By the way I get really cross when people call Cherie the first lady,have they not heard of the Queen?
