Prince Charles, who was accompanied by his private secretary, Squadron Leader Sir David Checketts, had met Peter and Spike on various occasions and was especially friendly with Harry Secombe. But dear, dependable Harry, the anchor I’d been relying on to hold the others in check, was unwell, leaving his daughter Jenny to represent him. HRH had not met Michael Bentine before, and once he’d been formally received and introduced to the various guests (we were about thirty in all) and the promised photocall was over, the Prince sat wide-eyed as the unstoppable Michael took off on one of his fantastic soliloquies, reminiscing about secret wartime aerial missions he’d been involved in (or imagined he’d been involved in – who knows?), from time to time turning to the squadron leader at the end of the table for confirmation, airman to airman. Checketts, as captivated as his boss, nodded sagely.

Spike Milligan has his own special message for our royal guest: ‘Dear Prince – Please send Open University knighthoods to c/o Mrs D. Prolls, Mange Buildings, Tower Hamlets, London.’
