I wanted to be Margot Fonteyn. I danced in front of her at a performance at the Guildhall Southampton when I was about 8 or 9. Everyone came on stage at the end of the show and I was sitting at the front. She wore a stunning simple cocktail length black dress and her hair up. I had no idea of Paris fashion but that she looked so different to the other dignitaries gathered was obvious. She spoke graciously, and I sat just behind her, entralled.
