I was in Oakwood Avenue school just a short walk from Warrington Cemetrery on the day of Georges funeral. At assembly everyone was told not to go but me and two friends went anyway. When we got back late from lunch we were all put on detention for disobeying Miss Jones our headmistress. Think George would have approved and had a little chuckle 🤩

Watching this Memorial Day weekend, 2023. George wasn't in the military but he went all around the war zones in WW2 entertaining the troops for ENSA. He deserves to have honors too. Thanks for the tour friend. 🌌

During the last war in the Far East the troops used to get film shows when not in action. The British troops found that the Indian troops, and particularly the Gurkhas, loved George Formby films and never tired of them.

George was a true human being and that's what shone through.. His wife was his shield and she made him despite what people said about her.

yep its been sheduled for demo since april 2023 ..so sad to see another 1930s built cinema go that way ....i know they are hard to keep up on maintenence given thier age ..and a lot of them were left to rot after they closed as cinemas or bingo halls ..if they aint particulary art deco or have had the original guts ripped out of em like the gaumount then they dont get listed ....Im hoping the old gaumount /odeon/ metro in Ashton dont come to the same fate someone has bought it and are trying to restore it .they have a LOT of work to do on it since it closed as the Metro and was left to rot ....seen som pics of the inside and were the circle bar ect was is in a right state (that section had a flat roof so you can imagine what the damage from water ingress is like)

I had a friend who went to school with the sister of George Formby (Junior). Their father George (Formby Senior) used to come to the school and do comedy acts for the children. This was before the first world war as my friend was born in 1904. Time passes.

I think it was less about making a stand and the fact that his wife Beryl was quite a vicious woman and didn't take too kindly to being spoken down to.
