I was a silly young teenager at Grangefield Grammar School,where Charlie was a pupil.
The boys had to walk past the girls school and we loved to watch them walk by .I can vividly remember Charlie striding past, jauntily happy with a grin on his face and his blonde hair flopping over his good looking face.He was the favourite! There was a buzz of excitement when we saw him in the distance,then held our breath as he passed.Little did we know what a celebrity he would become,and yet there was an air of 'something' about Charlie.
I am so pleased that he had such a great life and brought such a lot of pleasure to the rest of the world.His family must be so proud .
