Every seat in the town hall was full as an actor took to the stage in full music hall style.  “Isn’t that Bernard Hepton?” I said to my neighbour, knowing full well it was and simply showing off my knowledge.

There were two screens in the hall. The one to the left of the audience was showing a Wales rugby match and most people were having to turn their necks to watch the action. Meghan Markle sat behind us chatting with her friends about how marriage was a broken institution and … “it wasn’t the only one”. This was said with some much meaning that I worried we were all committing treason by simply being in the same room.
