On my way to school one morning in possibly 1944 there was the body of a woman in the river Brent where we crossed by the footbridge at the church. She was lying face down, motionless and her hat and handbag were on the bank. There was a policeman on watch and he told me to "Go on son you don't need to see that". I often wondered why she had apparently taken her own life. In 1944 the world was full of problems for so many people.
