Charles Davies and Joe Davies on BBC One's The One Show907 viewsFor about 30 years, I'd be wanting to get back in touch with the Davies's, the family we'd known in Belgium.
I'd made a number of searches on the internet over the years, but not managed to find them.
Then on April 22nd 2014, the "One Show" on BBC1 was on. We had the sound down, and only left it because Rick Wakeham was going to be on, who played the wonderful keyboard arrangement on the Cat Stevens version of Morning Has Broken.
Not really paying attention, I suddenly saw a man on the screen who looked just like "Mr Davies" from Belgium. I'd only be saying to dad a few days earlier that it would be nice if one day we managed to make contact with the Davies's
"Dad" I said, "that looks just like Mr Davies". By then, the picture had gone, and some middle aged bloke with a beard and grey hair was talking and soon he was gone too.
I said to dad I was pretty sure it WAS Mr Davies.
Here's the report. And it was! And the middle aged bloke was Joseph, last seen as a teenager!
