This news has just reached us in Spain. Sat in the sunshine but the world has dimmed a little. We met Derek and Carole several times. He was always such a gentleman, so kind and interested in everyone. He fought back from so many health setbacks that he seemed indestructible. We were so looking forward to seeing him and Carole again in France next month. Our thoughts are with Carole and his family, there is a hole in our world, theirs must be devastated. All our love, Julie and Neil.
