With grateful thanks to David Burrows for putting the film together so expertly. And to Nick Allen and others who supplied these photos, plus to Sheila, Esther and Sue for the flowers. Also thanks to all who came to the party, particularly the people of Huntingfield, who were such excellent hosts and to those who came from further afield, who were such delightful guests.
