It was an honour to play Pat Phoenix
The wonderful Royle Family
With Ricky at a Royle Family charity event for the Kirsty Appeal
Dean Sullivan could always charm my mother
‘How old do you think I am, Millie?’ Albert Finney with my aunty
Me as nurse Sal with the rest of the Jam and Jerusalem cast – I don’t think we ever stopped laughing when we were filming this
In make-up, Trevor Eve drops by
This was the final scene ever of Waking the Dead, taken under Waterloo Bridge
Dad and Mum together in their early seventies
With my mum on her ninetieth birthday
The photo we faked for my mother of Joel’s graduation day
Laughter is the best policy, with Susie
Receiving my OBE – my mother would have been so proud
And I was so proud to see Joel getting married to the lovely Zoe

With thanks to my dear friends and family, they mean everything. They know who they are. To Anne-Marie, my editor, who got me. And to Liverpool Football Club, my passion, in the hope this will buy me free tickets to away games!
