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!

I can so imagine this happening - that's when things were so much more woolly.

Great live reporting 😂
