Cherie is on her way to London’s Zuma restaurant, not for a Gillian Gibbons benefit lunch but for a light supper with husband Tony (yellow checked trousers, blue duffle coat, marmalade sandwich and white open-necked shirt).

It is Mr Wallinger himself who tells the Independent: “I think the art boom was driven by Thatcher’s children.”

Teddy bear, Teddy bear, Say good night
