Pride comes in surprising places

My father is approaching 87. Before he gets there, he is appearing on stage at Harpenden Public Halls as part of the 70th anniversary of Harpenden Gang Show.

    Seven people are singing - that’s my dad on the far right - each one representing a decade since the first performance in 1949.

    At their first rehearsal together, I was moved to tears of pride. Dad is part of something which has brought pleasure to thousands of people.
    Pride can sneak up on you when least expected.
