Dad was part of Ilkley’s
part time fire service. The
fire engine had a limited
crew of eight local
tradesmen and council
workers; it was always a
thrill to catch a glimpse of
the big engine haring
through the streets with
Dad clinging on the side."		 
 
   
 “September 2007 saw The Alan Titchmarsh Show launch on ITV, showcasing the best of British and celebrating our unsung heroes as well as national treasures.” 
   
   
 “I love Britain with a passion. I’m hugely enthusiastic about our landscape, especially the Isle of Wight with its marvellous rocky cliffs, wonderful beaches, rolling downs and great walks.” 
 
   
 

“Alison and I met at the Barnes and Richmond Operatic Society in 1972 when I was still a student at Kew.

Three years later, in the summer of 1975 we were married at St Mary’s Church, Barnes.”
