...of Wales (Prince Charles) had his investiture in 1969. The Benbow was moored by the harbour and the town was full of quaint, narrow streets which we loved to explore. Once he had bought the boat he would go away at weekends and usually took Gavin or Piers along with him.

As usual we would meet up in the Meynell pub in the village and the pantomime was the topic of conversation for weeks afterwards. As well as our large crowd of younger people there was also a crowd of older men who were always in there. One of them asked Kev if he could sell his wife’s car (as Kev was always buying and selling things in those days). Kev readily agreed and a few...
