civilian or military...
We were graced
by the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, complete with military escort,
who extolled the values of the British Nation...
Nick Kirvy
had kindly helped out with some dance coaching for those people wishing
to brush up on their steps late that afternoon, and the Jitterbug competition

It was finally
won, in fantastic style, by Marion Turner and Alex Scott, and presented
by last year's winners, Ashley Elliott and Yvette Hillebrandt.
The Hymers family, stars of Channel 4's "The 1940s House" series, made one of many appearances at the show during the Herb Miller Evening, and were to be spotted mingling with the crowds...
The party went on until well into the early hours, with a packed dance floor and lots of fun had by all...
