Singer Lulu has reflected on her challenging childhood growing up in a post-war Glasgow.

The singer, who was raised in Dennistoun, spoke about the difficulties faced by her family when food was rationed after the war.

Speaking on the BBC programme The Queen: 70 Glorious Years, Lulu said: “When I went to school the thing I looked forward to, when I was little, was the little tiny bottle of milk that they’d give you mid-morning.

"I was always hungry. I was always hungry as a child."

A host of famous faces, including Anita Dobson and Paul McCartney, reflected on growing up during the Queen's reign.

Lulu also spoke of the more basic living conditions of the time.

She said: “I would literally have a bath in front of the fire in a zinc bath once a week.

“The rest of the time I would get my legs up over the sink and be washing."
