DJB Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 He was my husbands granddad. We’ve heard lots of takes of his pigeon days and also his political voice. I never got the chance to meet him but he sounded like a great bloke 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
