Our Mam asked our Josie to take me out with her, I’d’ve been 5 or 6. I remember Josie and her friends wearing loads of underskirts under their skirts to make them billow out, and they’d done their hair in big bouffant bobs. Really dressed up. I looked up at them and thought “you look like Cilla Black”, I vividly remember thinking that.
The crowds were huge, HUGE. You couldn’t get past the Town Hall, it was a bit scary to be honest, then all of a sudden I was pulled out by this policeman and plonked on top of a pillar box and to see those crowds, it was amazing. It was when I was talking about it with Josie years later she said it was the Beatles, “oh is that what that was all about?” makes sense.
