🌟 “Salí a buscar el amor de mi vida… y regresé con un cartón de chelas”: la confesión más humana de Rafael Amaya 🍻

By -

  Durante años, el rostro de Rafael Amaya ha estado asociado con poder, peligro y seducción. Como Aurelio Casillas, el protagonista de El Señor de los Cielos , fue el símbolo de una masculinidad feroz: el hombre que lo tenía todo y que no temía a nada. Pero detrás del personaje, hay un ser humano que aprendió —con golpes, risas y lágrimas— que la vida no siempre se conquista a balazos ni con glamour… sino con humildad, humor y una cerveza en la mano. La frase “Salí a buscar el amor de mi vida y regresé con un cartón de chelas” no es solo una broma viral. Es un reflejo del nuevo Rafael Amaya. Un hombre que, después de haberlo tenido todo y perder casi todo, ha decidido reírse de sí mismo, abrazar la imperfección y celebrar los pequeños placeres que antes pasaban desapercibidos. Hubo un tiempo en que Rafael vivía en modo Aurelio : siempre acelerado, rodeado de fama, luces y ruido. El éxito de la serie lo lanzó a la cima, pero también lo sumergió en una soledad silenciosa. En 2019...

Actress Dame Patricia Routledge remembers ‘astonishing’ sight on VE Day

By -

 

Chichester resident Dame Patricia Routledge has revealed how she celebrated VE Day in 1945.

The 91-year-old actress shared her memories as part of an ABF The Soldiers’ Charity podcast, Voices of VE Day: 75 Years On, alongside other celebrities and World War Two veterans.

Dame Patricia, best known for her role as Hyacinth Bucket in the BBC sitcom Keeping Up Appearances, vividly recalls the celebrations.

She was a teenager at the time, in Birkenhead, where she was brought up.

“The place was packed with people and the River Mersey was full of ships and they were all honking away and the lights were on – it was astonishing, really wonderful.”

She also spoke of her school days in Birkenhead.

Dame Patricia said: “If we went to school without our gas masks, we were sent home again, and it was memorable. We had a shelter built at the school I attended and we would do air raid drill regularly and sometimes had to go down there, below the tennis courts, I remember, if there was a daylight raid.”

The podcast features first-hand accounts from guests including war evacuee Sir Derek Jacobi, 96-year-old Bletchley Park veteran Betty Webb, 96-year-old Chelsea Pensioner Bob Sullivan, 102-year-old former gunner Capt Jack Swaab and 98-year-old former York and Lancaster Regiment officer Geoffrey Winter.

Former Coldstream Guardsman Allan Jackson, a schoolboy in the war, remembers London’s docks burning and said ‘it was quite exciting’.

Former ATS driver mechanic Barbara Weatherall, 94, was in Sunderland and remembers it was ‘absolutely heaving, just like London’.

She said: “You couldn’t move for people out enjoying the celebrations.”

Barbara had to get through and a policeman helped her by ‘literally pushing the crowd aside’ so she could walk through the entire street.

ABF The Soldiers’ Charity is the Army’s national charity, formed in 1944 to provide a lifetime of support to soldiers, veterans and their families. In the past year, it has helped 70,000 members of the Army family in 68 countries across the globe and funded 92 other charities and organisations to deliver specialist services.

  Una Stubbs obituary This article is more than 3 years old Sparkling actor whose long, eclectic career ranged from Shakespeare to Sherlock Bright and bubbly, tart and twinkly, Una Stubbs, who has died aged 84, was a revue regular and a Palladium pantomime principal boy who parlayed her natural song-and-dance talent into a later, diverse career on the classical stage. In earlier years she was best known for her roles alongside Cliff Richard in two high-spirited pop musical movies –  Summer Holiday  (1963) and  Wonderful Life  (1964) – and as Alf Garnett’s daughter, Rita Rawlins, married to a socialist layabout ( Anthony Booth , Cherie Blair’s father and so Tony’s father-in-law), in  Johnny Speight ’s classic TV series  Till Death Us Do Part  (1965‑75) and in episodes of its 1980s sequel,  In Sickness and in Health . Both of these incarnations are unimaginable today: a docile, amenable dolly bird hanging around Cliff and the Shadows, and a tol...
