It was a true life fairytale – the moment when two princesses were let loose to join the ecstatic crowds in London celebrating the Victory in Europe Day.
They even made Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret infamous night among the jubilant crowds into a movie called “A Royal Night Out.”
But today The Prince of Wales met another woman in her nineties who was there too and said he couldn’t wait to tell his mother.
“It was quite a night!” Iva Barr, 91, from Bedford told Charles when they met at a Buckingham Palace Garden Party he was hosting, accompanied by his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and sister The Princess Royal.
Ms Barr - who was presented with the British Empire Medal for her charity work and for being the oldest ever marathon runner ever,
She quit marathon running in 2016 added, “He said he would definitely tell the Queen that he met another person who was there that night.
“I told him that it was the most incredible party ever. I love the royals and it is a honour to be here at the Garden Party,” she said.
She added, “I joked that there were a lot of good looking guys around in uniform that night and he burst out laughing.”
Ms Barr had been running marathons 30 years before she called it at day in 2016.
She pulled up on her last one in London having completed 14 miles.
“I wanted to go out in a blaze of glory but I didn’t do that. But it was still a great day,” she said.
