Sir Anthony Evans turned to me. ’That competition was the start of wonderful things for me,’ he said. ’I went to the College of Music for three years. Of course, I worked hard, but I enjoyed every minute. I always went back to the farm for my holidays. And one summer, when I was twenty, I asked Miss Linda Wood a very important question. "I can’t give you much, Linda," I told her. "But one day I shall be rich and famous. Then I’ll come back again, and I’ll ask you to marry me." She gave me a long, loving look. Then she laughed. "Oh, Anthony," she said. "Don’t wait until you’re rich and famous. Ask me now!" So I did — and here we are!’
’We’ve been married for sixty years. Five years ago, the Queen invited us to Buckingham Palace. I was Mr Anthony Evans when I went into the Palace. I was Sir Anthony Evans when I came out... and,’ — he took his wife’s hand — ’my dear Linda was Lady Evans.’
