The remarkably large crowd of excited young girl fans, pushy press men and little security wherever she went made it a quite an unnerving experience for the first time traveller to step outside!

The tall chap in the middle is Paul Babb, who along with Pamela Proctor (both recent grads.of RCA fashion) designed the Twiggy clothing range.

Sitting to the right is Teddy, East End Londoner friend of Twiggy and her part time bodyguard (also flower seller at Kensington tube station).
