with Marilyn Hill Smith, Lindsay Benson, Robert Docker, and the London Theatre Orchestra, conducted by Alexander Faris.
In both years the Chancellor of the Exchequer was to become a future Prime Minister, Lloyd George in 1909 and Harold Macmillan in 1956, during which year premium bonds were introduced, England retained the Ashes, the GPO introduced weather forecasts by telephone, Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier of Monaco, and Peter Twiss notched up a new air speed record of 1,132 mph in a Fairey Delta Two. Back in 1909 Bleriot flew the Channel and John Galsworthy's "Strife" was presented on the stage. The popular songs of the day included "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?" and "Shine on Harvest Moon". The theatre of 1956 witnessed John Osborne's "Look Back in Anger", and "Under Milk Wood" was presented at the Edinburgh Festival. The deaths were announced of Mistinguett, Sir Alexander Korda and Robert Newton. The popular music of the time included the "Dam Busters' March" and "Rock Around the Clock".
