Beatty was the most wonderful kind spirit I ever net. My mum and dad did a antique stall in brick Lane and I would dance with her as a child in the street. She would always take me to a charity shop and spend her last penny on me. God bless her soul wish I knew were she was buried would pay my respects

There is a lesson in Beatrice’s tragic story. She should have made certain that her name was on the deed to their house; then her husband could not have sold it without her consent. Women must protect themselves to ensure they cannot be left in the lurch in such an appalling way. A shame that she was used and abused!

So marvelous to hear the back story to such a charismatic and interesting figure. There is a back story to all of human behaviour and how great to hear hers. Amazing how Beatrice had the tenacity and strength to rise above her appalling situation. A reminder that dignity can come in disguise – no-one should ever be mocked or scorned, least of all the vulnerable.

There but for the grace of God go we.
There’s a story behind everything isn’t there ?
Something we all must remember before judging.
