:06:54. > :06:58.he should find love again. She said to me, "You must

:06:59. > :07:00.find someone else. She said, "I want

:07:08. > :07:13.Austin, three years ago. They'd been married

:07:14. > :07:17.since she was 17. What I'm getting from my

:07:18. > :07:21.family and many overs is, "You're husband, Austin,

:07:22. > :07:23.wouldn't want to see you unhappy. He'd be up there now looking down

:07:24. > :07:26.on you saying, Ronnie, But she's still taking her style

:07:27. > :07:43.from the fabulous fifties. It was all about dreamcoats

:07:44. > :07:45.and petticoats. My skirts were very, very short

:07:46. > :07:48.and when you twirled round, We liked to show what we had

:07:49. > :07:55.underneath which used And her favourite dress
