One of my biggest dissapointments occurred on Monday 6th October 2008 due to the fact I was unable to attend the unveiling of the Blue Plaque awarded to the late Anne Shelton at her former home in Court Lane, Dulwich. This was due to sickness which is still with me at the time of writing. However, Kelly Richards (Anne's niece) was kind enough to email me some photographs taken of the occasion and I was able to get an idea of how the event went off.
I have always considered myself Anne's No.1 (and oldest) fan, possibly because I have followed her career which began in 1940 with the Ambrose Orchestra from the very beginning. I was just twelve then.
This was a well deserved honour and I agree with Kelly, she would have been so proud and humbled by the occasion. It wouldn't surprise me if she was sharing the honour with her beloved sister Jo who sadly died in 1991 and was also a lovely singer.
My final comment is that in my opinion Anne should have been created a Dame in recognition for all her hard and tireless work for the Forces during WWII and years beyond, in fact right up to a couple of days before she sadly died in 1994. In the event she was award the OBE
