Visiting all the palaces he occupied, and built.

Looking forward to seeing it.

Marvellous.

Not sure I’d want to live then though.

Dancing, drinking and dressing up – yay !

The Skylon sculpture on the new South Bank, the new Royal Festival Hall and all that. After all the difficulties during the war, it was supposed to be a great tonic for the nation. Think I’d like to be part of something like that!

From about Henty VIII till about now.
