Top Comments of this video!! :3
The women in this film were probably born around the same sort of time as my grandmother. I only ever knew her after her hair went grey and had false teeth. She died about 7 years ago now and would have been 103 now if sheād stayed alive. But my goodness what a remarkable woman she was! Hard-working, kind and fun. I remember when she was in her 80s she danced the can-can, not long having had a life-saving heart valve replacement, to try and encourage her sister to take her heart medication āNora, if you take your pills youāll be able to do the can-can like meā. And sheād let her false teeth drop out to frighten us as kids. Hilarious stuff! She was so full of life even if she was getting nearer the end of it.
Itās hard to think that our sweet little silver-haired grannies were once active, vibrant, beautiful young women with energy, verve and youth on their side. Itās all too easy to think of them as just old people that need looking after, and forget that they once used to do so many amazing things. Some could sing well. Some could do gymnastics, some could play the marimba. Other did other remarkable things as part of their day-to-day lives. Many, many of them would turn young menās heads and melt their hearts! And some would even work with pantomime horses! They were living lives just as exciting as ours, maybe even more so - and often under much harder circumstances.
This video really brings it home to me. Thanks for posting this, and thanks to whoever did the remarkable restoration and colourisation.

The best bit is Pansy walking out on stage to absolute deafening silence from the audience
