Alf Stantons greatest hero was Errol Flynn and when he heard that an auction at Lots Road, Chelsea, were selling a trunk that had been found on Errol Flynns yacht, The Zaca, he thought it must be fate as this was the street he had grown up on as a child.

Alf and his wife, Ann, attended many functions at film studios both in the UK. and America where they met the stars of stage and screen, including Tony Curtis on multiple occasions, Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds, Norman Wisdom and many others.
