LA Thinker. I’ve often wondered why Cliff Richard has flown under the radar for so long and have always assumed that it’s because of his ‘close’ relationship with the Royal Family as was Noel Coward before him. But i dont think there’s any evidence that Noel was interested in little boys. He lived in Jamaica (and died there) with two former chorus boys for well over forty years. But the age gap wasnt much younger than twenty odd years. He also left his entire estate to them except for some money he left to finish the building and restoration to a large church in Teddington in West London where i grew up. The church was never refurbished and i often wondered where that money went.

Ronnie had a thing for the Young Ones...

I was investigating the life of my great grandfather Henry Dunn Sayer, an East End local hero. He was awarded many decorations, he held a certificate from the Royal Humane Society, received their medal with bars. His citation was "he never lost a soul." He saved 112 children and one adult from drowning in the local canal, over the course of several years. Everyone was so poor, Charlie Chaplin, another East End boy, just starting out, held two charity concerts for him. When Henry Dunn Sayer died aged 54, the local people and undertakers organized his funeral at Chingford Mount. There was no money for a private plot so he was interred in a common grave. In a curious twist, the Chingford Mount officials decided he should be placed in a mass children's grave, saying he had saved children in life, he would look after them in death. I stood by this pit, turned away and within a few paces, stumbled across monstrous marble tombs. The krays, they are buried close by a man of bravery and honour. Makes one think about who gets the rewards in society. Interesting my great grandfather only ever received multiple bronze decorations...he only saved 113 poor people, not even worth one silver medal.

The one lesson is rats always rat out eventually when they have to, love the Kray story watched all the movies, but they were doomed to fail like all organised crime, the problem is they will always rat on each other to save their own necks. There has never been a a big organised crime bust without the ones who turn, even now.

I read Chris Lambrianou's book years ago. Out of all of the associates that went down with the Krays in 1969, he is the only one that showed any real remorse for his involvement in the Firm. He served 15 years+ I believe, as he wouldn't turn Queen's evidence. Its a sad story, such a waste...

Sometimes your the pigeon, sometimes your the statue.

My parents and grandparents grew up in this era and always said that is was a much better time to live in. The cockneys were genuinely nice people. Most people didn’t really have anything against the gangsters of this time. They only messed with each other or with people causing trouble. Since the end of the London gangster the city’s underclass has ran rampant.

While most here mention the Tom Hardy film about the Krays, I think a much better film about them was released around 1991. It was entitled The Krays. Yes, Tom Hardy’s performance was quite good, but the 1991 film had a better script that shifted the psychological center of the story to the Kray,s mother.
