Not one of my favourite songs, but memorable for one reason. It must have been a sunny day in the summer holidays of 1957, when the record was released, that Mum took my brothers and I on one of our many visits to Kensington Gardens, a short bus ride up Kensington High Street. I have a vivid memory of walking into the park and hearing some music. As we passed the source, it turned out to be Diana being played on a portable record player, something we had never experienced before in the open air. It could not have been that loud, as by the time we reached the Round Pond, where we often sailed our toy yachts, the sound was gone. But the memory lingers on.
