The famous picture is here: [1]. Marnanel 04:06, May 14, 2004 (UTC)
Laleham is near Wraysbury but it does not have (and as far as I know, never has had) an Air Force Base. Searching for Laleham Air Force Base only brings up articles relating to Christine Keeler. Where did this start and does the editor who added it have a verifiable source? Egham1 21:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Try Langley Airbase - named as one of several US airfields nearby, in 'Honeytrap' (Anthony Summers). 86.140.5.29 ( talk) 14:24, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
the second 'sentence' isn't one, and makes no sense. Toyokuni3 ( talk) 04:58, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Any more recent updates on life, work, relationships? 86.155.209.111 ( talk) 13:40, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
She married and had a son, whom she sent to a good primary school at World's End (Chelsea, West London) before moving to join her (ex?) husband in Kent. Any updates? 86.145.155.99 ( talk) 23:56, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
What has she done since 1963? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.77.148.133 ( talk) 06:59, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
If we actually have pool parties in this country, I suspect that we did not in those days. Billiards evenings, perhaps. 194.176.105.139 ( talk) 16:37, 18 December 2012 (UTC)The NHS
I think it refers to swimming pools? PeterM88 ( talk) 19:22, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
http://chrisspivey.org/scandal/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.40.24.4 ( talk) 19:54, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
At 17 the article says "she gave birth to a son after an affair with a man called Jim, an African-American sergeant from Lakenheath Air Force base."
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/SPYkeeler.htm This says different. Brakn ( talk) 09:40, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes it does say different! It also quotes her referring to it being an 'abortion'. A child surviving for 6 days isn't an abortion? PeterM88 ( talk) 19:29, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
It is very strange that no mention is made of her at all in this article. 86.133.211.7 ( talk) 15:12, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

There was an US Airforce base at Laleham?? I suspect this was Lakenheath but can find no WP:RS for it. I see that the question was asked above, back in 2009, but was never answered. Does the source given (Knightley and Kennedy, pp. 53–54), actually support this claim? I have trimmed out the name for now. Martinevans123 ( talk) 23:35, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello User:Martinevans123! Thanks for your comment re the Christine Keeler caption and apologies for not making myself sufficiently clear. Might I explain? I was responsible for uploading the image and it is indeed from a Channel 4 edition of After Dark. However the possessive ("Channel 4's After Dark) is not strictly accurate: a quick look at the article about this programme shows that during its history it was transmitted by two (indeed rival) broadcasters. It was this which led to my reversion.
Strictly speaking, if the programme is "anyone's", it belongs (as per the copyright of the image) to the production company Open Media - but not only would using this have a certain promotional flavour, it is not an edit I would be comfortable with making (see my Talk page for why).
Hope that helps. Copying this to your Talk page as I am not sure where the comment belongs best. AnOpenMedium ( talk) 15:08, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
Good morning, I'm not sure if this has been discussed previously, but I have been re-reading my copy of Truth At Last and on page 12 I noticed Christine states her date of birth as 2 February 1942, not 22 as generally publicised. I'm wondering if this may be simply a typo, and if anyone else has a copy which gives the same date, or if 22 February has been fully corroborated by a sight of Christine's birth certificate. Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roandy ( talk • contribs) 11:01, 1 February 2020 (UTC) Roandy ( talk) 11:27, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
I haven't read it in full yet, but this Oldie article looks like it might be a useful secondary source for this article: https://www.theoldie.co.uk/blog/the-dignity-of-christine-keelers-funeral -- The Anome ( talk) 18:47, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
