Rita Connolly

Rita Connolly was the downtrodden wife of the bullying Eddie Connolly, who insisted that Rita prepared for a party to celebrate the coronation on Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953, putting up decorations and flags as well as preparing food and drink for Eddie's family. During the coronation party, Rita finally decided she had taken enough from Eddie and threw him out of their house when she realised it had been her husband who had shopped their neighbours and friends and her mother to the police after they had lost their faces to the Wire.

Behind the scenes
Though not identified as such in the story, Rita Connolly's maiden name would appear to have also been Conolly as evidenced by its use as the surname of her mother.
