Jean metcalf and cliff michelmore on a sunday morning playing song requests for British forces abroad. I used to love listening to it. Pat boone was a favourite request for the song " I'll be home my darling". Beverly sisters, alma cogan, Vera Lynn among many others

I was born in a BMH abroad as Dad was posted there. Dad wrote to Family Favourites and his request was read out, the other presenter then said, that's a coincidence, I have a request here from the Grandparents for the same family. They played "When My Little Girl Is Smiling" and the local newspaper back home sent a reporter to my Grandparent's house. Unfortunately, Nan and Granddad were both out and my Uncle, who answered the door, claimed he knew nothing about me or the request! He never lived that one down.
