Many of you knew him as Martyn, most of you as Scary and I had the pleasure of being able to say Dad.  No matter how you knew him, Dad was a man that we will all never forget.

In his final days, Dad was made to feel comfortable and at ease in a "home away from home" at the Pricess Alice Hospice in Esher.  What Rosie, Jacinta, Tracey and all the nurses in the Red Team did for him there is nothing short of brilliant.  From taking care of Dad in every respect, to telling him off for having too many visitors (!) or even just popping in for a bit of banter, they were just amazing.

The last few days have been difficult for us all, but I think it is important that we do not forget the excellent job that the Princess Alice have done for Dad, so please, give you what you can and contribute to this wonderful cause.
