I remember being taken to Blackpool as a child to see them perform - either at the pier or the Winter Gardens, I don't remember which - and my younger brother thrusting forward to be able to shake Lenny's hand. (Like the Muppets, one of his arms was like a sleeve for Terry's arm, so he had a very mobile paw). He certainly made us happy, and it was nice to be reminded of it, albeit in sad circumstances. What's Lenny going to do now? |

(I've just realised - aren't Charlie and Horse both slang for drugs? If it was intentional, it certainly passed me by at the time.) Now. Ray Allan, I think, is still alive. But does anyone know what's become of Lord Charles? Or Tich and Quackers, come to that? |

Such were the crowds and the excitement that my sister who was a few years older than me was somewhat overcome with it all. She managed to have a private meeting afterwards and had a KISS from Lenny the Lion. Long time ago. |
