Once you have children it's love without bounds. You would die for them in an instant, without question. How can you better that?

I'm a bit frightened of the idea of a full facelift because, when you look in the mirror, you want to look like yourself.

Everything has to be organised for kids in London - you can't just walk three roads to see a friend.

More than 55,000 men from Bomber Command lost their lives, of whom 38,000 were British. That's one in 10 of all the British servicemen lost in the Second World War. It beggars belief that there has not been some recognition for what they gave until now.
