Tributes

  1. I will miss your so bold, so humorous, so sophisticated self and sonorous tone.
    From school, oh so many years ago, to our very recent conversations.
    Apologies to all, I will be overseas on the day of the Service.

  3. Richard my friend, I’m heartbroken. 😭
    No more Dinners, no more Afternoon Tea drives to Cavendish and Dunkeld, no more talks about the world as we knew it.
    You gave me strength Richard, I’m really going to miss you. Your ‘Cara mut’ friend,
    Vikki xx 😘
