"I longed to be a bridesmaid. I think I've got long hair now because I always had the urchin look when I was small, in all my brother's hand-me-downs. Nobody would have this speccy shaven-haired child as their bridesmaid. So I used to beg them. I remember that they took me to this department store to choose my dress this was 1968 or '69 and I was so excited I was running around the shop telling all these sales assistants in this rather posh store: 'My mummy and daddy are getting married, my mummy and daddy are getting married."
