Bear act at the Ritz late Forties approx
I was in the Ritz Cinema, during the war. I was only a school boy, with my mum and dad. Suddenly it flashed on the screen, that the Italians had surrendered. There was one tremendous cheer from the audience. How happy they were. The war was going our way.

I saw the Beatles there. My mum queued for the tickets and Miss Holland who was head teacher at WGHS walked along the line and sent any girls from school back to school before they could get tickets----gutted!!!!!!
