Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

We had two royal princes

Sandbagging our road.

It happened some eight years ago

In the Datchet floods.

---

The floods were very bad that year

The Thames had burst its banks.

We were in the news each day

A river through our streets.

---

Among the worst affected

We had water in the house

There were sandbags by the river

---

But they weren’t helping us

The water off the golf course

Came up the railway track.

---

That’s another story

I‘ve told it all at length

But on that day the brothers came

To give our street some help.

---

This is William and Harry

Up the end our road.

I got to throw them sandbags

Spoke, shook William‘s hand.

---

They were two different brothers

Though they got on back then.

William quietly on his own

Harry with the men.

---

Harry with the soldiers

And loved to be with them.

A weight on William‘s shoulders

He‘ll be our future King.

---

Of course there was an entourage

For soon the press arrived

William was not happy

To see the press gang there.

---

The snaps are of them resting

But the brothers really worked.

Stood in line with soldiers.

Passed sandbags down the line.
