Roy Bradley was a schoolboy who along with his friends, Peter Jackson and Frank Townsend, came carol singing at the Vestry one evening in December 1965 and appalled Ena Sharples when they liberally massacred Hark! The Herald Angels Sing outside her door. Hearing they were from Bessie Street, she invited them inside where she was sitting with Minnie Caldwell and asked their names. As Roy was shy, Peter tried to speak up for him but Ena snapped back that he should let the boy speak for himself.
