In the background of your picture of Wal Saunders, the gentleman in the wheelchair is Geoff Duke.
When we would not allow a young, uppity TV person to go down our lane behind the Grandstand, as he was there and privacy had been requested, I said "I'm sorry, you can't go down there. Mr Duke is there at the moment" Response "..and who the hell is Mr Duke?". Her feet never touched the ground on her way out...

Many thanks to you Gert for your wonderful photos and terrific pashionate story of the 2011 sidecar TT races. I will now buy all the papers and magazines, as I usually do, and I know I will not get as good a report from all of them put together as the report you have just given us. Again, very many thanks!!

Fantastic stuff Gert especially as I could not make it there this year. Just looking at the pics you can smell and hear the atmosphere. Top class work mate, thank you.
