I am
He is very sadly missed by my Mum and I. I moved to London a year or so after he died and my Mum sold our house on Balmoral Road and moved to a smaller place in Burnley. I'm still fiercely proud of my Accrington roots and coming home later tonight to visit Mum (and my boyfriend who lives in Manchester - he's originally from the South, I'm teaching him how to be Northern).
I've lost hours this morning reading your thread and looking through the photos. Thank you for posting them. He looks a lot like me in the oldest photo! Would love to hear any school tales
I believe my Mum finally won him over by stalking him on the walk home from school and asking if he'd like to come over and listen to her Cliff Richard tape...They were both so cool
