"They said it would never last but we didn’t stop laughing for 27 years"

Sarah Gorrell

Available for over a year

Dame Barbara husband Scott Mitchell was 26 years younger when they met in Kemptown, Brighton. Nobody thought it would last but there was a connection that lasted a lifetime. Their biggest challenge was never the age gap. It was Barbara’s devastating diagnosis with Alzheimer’s. Even when Barbara’s condition progressed to the point where she could not remember her remarkable career the laughter never stopped. Scott shared his story of humour, love and heartbreak with Sarah Gorrell.
