Like Derb earlier this week, I found much to savor in the Daily Telegraph’s obituary of the much lamented David Hemmings, including this:

“We were the poor man’s Taylor and Burton,” Hemmings recalled. At the wedding, a swimming pool was filled with doves dipped in puce dye, the Mamas and the Papas sang and Henry Mancini conducted the orchestra.”

Doves dipped in puce!Lord Berners would have approved.
