I just hope Elton John isn't beavering away at his piano as we speak.

My Mam's most enduring memory of the Queen Mother was seeing a Pathe Newsreel at the pictures.

She was stood holding a shotgun, next to a pile of dead Tigers.

It had apparently been a great days shooting.

Mam left the cinema in tears.

Regarding the Princess Di 'fan,' if Di been living in a two bed maisonette in Manchester she would probably have been branded an unfit mother.

Having said all this, a family just lost someone they probably loved and I know what that feels like.
