The following comments were left on the Pebble Mill Facebook Page:
Sue Robinson: ‘I’ve got a newspaper cutting about this somewhere. We raised money for the RNLI, I think?’
Kevin Hudson: ‘The young lad behind Steve Mitchell is Brian Bishops son. I remember the day well, I was slightly off course landing, and was dragged through a pile of sheep sh…t. Oh happy days.’
Carol Churchill: ‘Steve and Brian scenic artists. I saw them all jump, lot of green faces that day.’
Susan Astle: ‘I watched them all too, with Carol, it was an amazing sight. Susie (Bancroft as was).’
