Who gets the royalties for the song that was the first to be played on BBC Radio One in 1967 and why?

I'd forgotten about this! 'Flowers In The Rain' by The Move was promoted by a saucy postcard of Prime Minister Harold Wilson, to which he took exception. Mr Wilson successfully sued the band and won the royalties, which were given to charity. May 07 05, 5:50 AM

Yay BM! The two things I am curious about and hope someone can tell me are the woman that Mr Wilson was implicated with and the charity that he chose the royalties be given to. May 07 05, 10:04 AM

Marcia Faulkender was the woman with whom he was allegedly involved I think. He nominated the Spastics Society and Stoke Mandeville Hospital to receive the royalties. May 07 05, 10:29 AM
