"Fave photo has to be her walking down the High Road clutching her balloons - not quite Abbey Road but close. As they say, 80 is the new 60 and that’s certainly the case for Carol, or Tat as her friends call her. Love you Mumsy.
"Thanks Soho House/High Road House for such a splendid afternoon. The perfect place to celebrate."
