School Trip to Italy, 1960
Photos taken with Gracie
Fields on the day of the trip from Naples to Capri during the Easter holiday,
1960. The photographs were taken shortly after a very rough crossing from
Naples when the stomachs of the Aberdarians were put to a most severe
test; almost everybody lost their breakfasts that morning!
The story goes that Gracie came out of her home to sympathise with the
boys because it had rained all day during the visit.
