1984 saw a Christmas of 20lb turkeys and a mountain of My Little Ponies; the survival of a striking family through the generous donations of a supportive nation.
We marched and sang and when the Police kicked down our snowmen we built them back up around concrete bollards.
As a six year old child I could not understand why we hated a woman who we'd never met.
A lady who saved me from having to drink warm milk at school.
Today she passed away peacefully at The Ritz
...which says it all.
