Can't believe it's 20 years....

...since the Queen's Annus Horribilis.

In other words, it's twenty years since the Windsor Castle Fire. The Chief Fire Officer at the time was on holiday, and so missed the whole thing. He later sent the crew a postcard that simply read: "I leave you alone for five minutes....!"

Tomorrow I'm hearing the full story from the perspective of the firefighters who were there, and who even had to let down the pressure in the tyres of the fire engines so the appliances could fit under and between the turrets and gates of the castle!
