A royal visit to Victory Street

Pam Howes

Bryant sisters, 5

1956, Liverpool. With the shadow of the war still looming over them, and bomb craters littering the surrounding streets, hope feels far away for the residents of Victory Street. When they learn that Queen Elizabeth has chosen to visit their road on a tour of Liverpool, the delighted neighbours bring back the wartime spirit to organise a street party and entertainment. Top of the bill will be the Bryant Sisters, the singing trio of Bella, Fran and Edie, who toured base camps during the war. Meanwhile, Bella's teenage son Levi has ambitions of his own, having formed a group with two of his friends: they're over the moon to be offered a performance slot at the street party. But though his parents are proud of his music, they want him to aim for art college, whereas Levi wishes to abandon academia for the entertainment business..
