She won the tickets in a raffle?!! OMG! Great story Ragged. Who knows whether it was the Navy or not. I think the odds are stacked against young love but you gave it a good go!
I just talked to Jo. She said that she didn't win the tickets in a raffle. She heard on the radio that the tickets were sold out but she went up to Wembley anyway and they still had some left in the box office. Fun memories!
My editor made me remove the dig about the critics of Live Aid but here it is for posterity.

Great live reporting 😂
