Flanagan, a name that echoes through time, encompassing various realms and leaving an indelible mark on history. From the enchanting melodies of Florrie Forde, the renowned music hall singer who graced stages from 1875 to 1940, to the valiant officers of No24 Squadron RAF in France on that fateful day of November 29th, 1918. But it was "Flash" Flanagan who truly embodied determination as he embarked on his adventurous run, with loyal Bunting Hull following closely behind. Their escapades became legendary during World War II as they entertained listeners through Radio Fun Annual in 1942. Yet Flanagan's legacy extended beyond entertainment; it intertwined with tragedy as well.

The London Pavilion and London Palladium witnessed unforgettable performances by Six Broken Blossoms and The Crazy Gang alongside Flanagan and Allen's uproarious comedy act. And then there was Fall - an Alaskan Malamute whose majestic presence mirrored the spirit of this illustrious name.
