The Death of Diana, Think we all remember that day. For the next week/10 days this country went into meltdown mourning.
Aye...Mawkishness in the UK set new heights following the tragedy.

Yep, This event turned private grief into public grief and ever since it seems the norm to grieve publicly, Who ever passes away.

On a much lighter note, 2.30pm today on TPTV, Passport to Pimlico, THE best Ealing comedy made. Perfect for a Bank Holiday and if the weather turns.

A heads up...Saturday 5th Sept at 6.00pm.

Went the Day Well(1942)

A great propaganda film set in a village in Buckinghamshire about what could happen in Nazi invasion.

5th Columnists among the local population.It features all classes of citizens pulling together.
Amazing moral boosting story for cinema goers in those dark days.

Indeed Olds, Also to make a great film with a great cast when London was still a bomb site and rationing still hadn't finished even though the war had been over for four years, You can see this as an post war morale boosting film.
