After the families had left there were several visits from well known entertainers who gave performances in the open-air theatre. Two of the concerts stick in my memory because of their starkly contrasting characteristics. One well known comedian gave a quite unnecessarily blue show which I personally found offensive, but this was followed a few weeks later by Harry Secombe. I was told that he asked what sort of programme he should give and that he was advised to ‘play it straight’. He gave a stunning performance which included many operatic arias. The troops loved it – so did I – and it just goes to show that comedians don’t need to get cheap laughs from blue jokes in order to please their audiences.
