The Twenty-Tens
Heathrow Airport - 2017
It's A Wonderful Flight - Television
Petula is featured in the soundtrack as Heathrow Airport reveals their second Christmas advertisement featuring the 50-year love story of Doris and Edward Bair, who were introduced in 2016 as the Heathrow Bears. In the newest edition of Heathrow's festive fare, Doris and Edward grow closer with every Christmas that passes, as Petula Clark's Couldn't Live Without Your Love hums in the background. An elderly couple kiss at the now-closed Heathrow Terminal 1. The advert celebrates the much-romanticised historical days of air travel, when flying was by default glamorous, rather than budget and thrifty. Watch for a cameo by Petula.

Print ads & product packaging (UK)
This is a great little item from the late 1940s. It is a 4 1/2" x 3" card containing 12 Blend-Rite Hair Grips (made in England by Newey Bros Ltd.) The back of the card specifies all the benefits of this particular brand of hair grips. What makes this such an interesting item is that the card is one of a series of British Film Stars. It is card No.5 and the front features a picture of Petula who was then under contract to the J Arthur Rank Organisation. The names of three of the films in which Petula has starred is also printed.

The 'Petula Clark' Rose
Neither photographed with nor spokesperson for the "Petula Clark" rose," Petula was nevertheless the inspiration. This lovely hybrid bush tea rose was once sold in nurseries across the UK. A few British fans still have them growing in their gardens.
[True Petula devotees would have selected a YELLOW rose in her honor.]
