The year was 1958, I was 13, and it was a stop as we were going to join my father who was stationed in Germany. We would be posted at Wetzlar, as it happens. I mostly remember some pretty girls, and that when we had an afternoon tea, the shop had no soft drinks, and I had an orange squash to drink with my biscuits.

The port of Southampton is probably the largest passenger port in Europe and was the port from which Titanic sailed. It was reckoned that every street in the town lost somebody when the Titanic went down.
