It is a lovely photo - and I especially liked Gary's t-shirt.Took me right back to my own childhood TV watching days.

I think that had to be one of the greatest E.B. Days for me. Seeing Mark, Julie (Jo) and Gary. It was great watching the F.F DVD of them all in their younger days too. And if I remember rightly wasn't the sun shining. :D

It certainly was one of the best Julie... A great day indeed. I have enjoyed all the days I have attended and wish I had managed to go to a lot more which I had been unaware of until 2007. I think the sun shone on every one of those days too.

That was definitely one of the best EB Days I've ever attended! :-D But then they were all good! Another highlight was watching Robert Tyndall draw Noddy. :-)

Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

If Gary was almost three decades younger, he would have been excellent for a role in the Harry Potter movies.
