What an interesting interview this morning on R4 with Philip Morell, who lost his shoe in the Thames when he was a small boy and ended up in Barnardos........


From the link, the interview starts at about 18'10''....definitely worth a few minutes listening

Apparently the 'Spirit' will come complete with fire spitting dragon on board for the Jubilee. HM felt she had to invite Camilla!
