It was an incredibly tense watch, and it really was a hot night. Tom Allen kept swaying about, and I got nervous myself, thinking how awful he must be feeling, because like lots of people I've been on the platform feeling lousy, and you just hope to get through it somehow. He kept going as long as he could, but it was only a matter of time before he hit the deck. Apparently they gave Patrick a bow tie to put on his turquoise shirt and trusted that he knew what he was doing. The fact that he was carrying the score probably helped. This is a difficult part for a baritone, but he was really good.

Patrick was my singing for 4 years in the late 1980s. Such a fantastic inspiring teacher and a wonderful voice! I'd love to know what he's doing now!

My husband and I were actually one of the promenaders on that night. We couldn't really see what had happened - we only knew that the tenor had disappeared rather suddenly and that he was replaced by someone wearing a blue shirt!

I heard this story on the podcast BBC History Hour, named "The Fairy Photos". It's the last story of the show.
