Details

Set during WWII and the present Diamond tells the story of a community, which lived, laughed and love together a stone's throw from the City of London, but in a world all of their own. It is a funny, irreverent and moving slice of life based on real characters, some of whom are still alive. The stories are all true, dramatic license has been used sparingly for fact is often stranger than fiction.
