She was my nanny for a time and performed the opening ceremony for my parents' shop in Station Road, Horley. Dad put up a sign which said "Now Open" The next day a landmine fell at the end of Station Road and blew in every alternate window (Reflected wave damage) Sign now reads "We are now WIDE OPEN" In 1982 Adelaide was performing at The Kings Head Islington and I bought tickets for myself and Dad for his 82nd birthday. She sang Solomon for Dad that night. During the Intro she said Cole had written the song for her, NOT for Elizabeth Welch -she winked at the audience to convey???????
